Aren't positives 1-3 all part of the same thing?

The virus hitting as spring started is a huge boost for animals, as their offspring get a better fighting chance of survival. We should see a boost in numbers of animals like badgers, hedgehogs and deer.

Less traffic when going to work.
No directors in the building with endless requests for reports and other crap.
Nobody sidetracking you when trying to get work done with stupid crap that takes common sense to work out.
No worries about parking spaces in the work car park.
Office isn't like a sauna as the other guys in my office are like women.
Targets removed so just do as much as possible without any stress
Not having to cook dinner everyday of the week as she finishes work later than I do.

positives of the lockdown


1. no excuse to not lead a healthier lifestyle... so much time for home work outs / improving your cooking skills / eating better food

2. take the time to self improve yourself - read motivational books if that's your thing / finally work through your finances that you have been putting off

3. think about a side business you might be able to start

4. relax ! catch up on movies / tv you have been meaning to watch

5. save money on travel / petrol / car wear and tear / eating out / drinking / holidays

6. no spurs

8. More exercise - Far more people out running, walking and cycling. My local woodland has increased activity wise ten fold since lockdown. I've ran more during lockdown.

I can attest to 1, 4, 5 (and 6 )

But I have been cooking from scratch. Been using the good blender more and making curries and soups from scratch,

Also making smoothies is a piece of pisss. I just add frozen kale / spinach with mango, banana, berries, ground cinnamon, water and nuts. Blend for a couple of mins and you have a really tasty smoothie. It’s great because I otherwise never get any of my five a day and this is a really quick way to get some.

Most of the ingredients can be added from frozen as well. Just make sure you don’t freeze whole mangos and unpeeled bananas

Yeah all that’s great of course, but is anyone else finding they are getting lazy and lethargic? There’s a million things I could be doing at home, but I’m just laying around watching telly from about 2 in the afternoon.

Having a massive throbbing toothache isn’t helping either!

Been out on my bike every day...in place of golf, been to work sporadically, the hot tub is up & out now
