October 27 – Life in a Lockdown #30

You may have to forgive me for a brief post this week, I feel like it was only yesterday I sat writing last weeks. 

Covid levels are increasing, the government voted against helping low-income parents out with feeding their children over half term. Wales are on lockdown for 17 days, Scotland has much stricter restrictions, while most of England bar those in tier 3 and just carrying on, carrying on. 

Oh and the clocks went back signalling now is the time of year, I struggle with the most. 

On With The Linky!

Starting off I must say a huge thank you to Bex from Futures for joining me each week as my co-host and of course Jenni at Lyrical Host (affiliate link) for kickstarting the idea! 

If you would like to take part, it’s simple:

We ask that you give both Bex and I a link back in your post, as hosts of the linkup and you can copy the questions below. 

After that; all you need to do is pop back to mine or Bex’s post and add your link in the inlinkz.

1) How are you feeling/coping?
2) What have you been up to over the past 7 days?
3) What do you think the coming weeks and months might hold for you (or the world)?
4) If you could remind yourself something about this time in years to come what would it be?
5) What have you bought this week that others might like? Especially if from as mall business.
6) What is a unique (or not) technique you have used to get you through this time?
7) What is something your readers might not know about you?
8) What have you been grateful for over the past 7 days?

So what did week 30 hold:

1) How are you feeling/coping?

I spent most of the week not really knowing what is going on. After my last DBT session, I was up early another morning for a gas safety check and then Friday a spoke to my CPN (who is leaving eek)! My fatigue pretty much ruled the rest of the time. 

Sunday I got around to drafting some content for some other people, so it might be a bit sparse on the blog this week. However, I’m hoping to get started on gift guides – so keep an eye out for those later in the week perhaps.  

I’m really missing having a pet right now, I just want a pet to cuddle and look after and just have fun with. It’s left me feeling empty.

Inwardly I’m trying to ignore the outside news, I’m living in my government-mandated bubble inside a bubble of my own. 

2) What have you been up to over the past 7 days?

OK, I pretty much answered this above. I did get my DBT certificate on Thursday, I’m putting it on the fridge so I can see it. Alas now comes the hard work as I need to keep up the techniques without someone in my ear every Monday.

Other than that I’ve been entering competitions when my brain isn’t playing ball games as I don’t need it too much for that. 

3) What do you think the coming weeks and months might hold for you (or the world)?

Everything is going to get better and we will all wonder what we have been worried about for the past months..

OK totally not going to happen but I can dream, right?

4) If you could remind yourself something about this time in years to come what would it be?

We couldn’t get through this without each other.

5) What have you bought this week that others might like? Especially if from a small business.

Nothing this week – I’ve been good and not spent pennies on anything unneeded. Can you believe it?! I think I need a gold medal.

6) What is a unique (or not) technique you have used to get you through this time?

Sarcasm, I always resort to it – it always helps.

Try it.

7) What is something your readers might not know about you?

When I was growing up I wanted to be an archaeologist.

8) What have you been grateful for over the past 7 days?

TV and on-demand streaming..

I have watched so much over the past few weeks.

Any ideas on what to watch next?
