June 29 – Life in a Lockdown #65

So it’s been a bit of a week. The health secretary resigned and let’s be honest there were some amazing memes made all about that situation which popped up very quickly after on Twitter. 

We’ve heard the news that lockdown easing again probably won’t happen before 19th of July. After some people would have liked to have seen it brought forward. 

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 is your favourite post of the past 7 days (it could be yours or someone else’s)?
4) Do you have any plans for lockdown easing?
5) What have you bought this week that others might like? (Especially if from a small business.)
6) What have you been grateful for over the past 7 days?
7) What would you like the future to know about life during a pandemic?
8) Anything else you would like to mention?

So what did week 65 hold:

1) How are you feeling/coping?

I’m feeling pretty tired at the moment, I had my second vaccine last week and while I managed to sleep after, it seems to have had the opposite effect and made me very tired this time.

We are keeping a close eye on how I react this time as it was very up in the air about if my hospital admission could have been related to the jab in any way. So far I’m doing good though so I shall stay positive. 

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

As well as having my jab we saw some of Ash’s family which was really nice. Most of them we haven’t seen in well over a year now.

Obviously, I also spoke to the haematologist, they are still keeping an eye on me for now and seeing what the next couple of months bring. If all goes OK I should be discharged with more of a wait and see.

3) What is your favourite post of the past 7 days (it could be yours or someone else’s)?

I’ve been watching all the animals this week so it has to be Mason’s Cavies over on TikTok this week. I love watching all the wiggies, I really miss having pets around myself. 

4) Do you have any plans for lockdown easing?

Nothing new – honestly I know the world is opening up. I know so many people are embracing it but I really struggle with the idea. I can’t go out that much anyway, so it’s not as though I’m missing a whole load just staying inside.

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

I really like wax melts at the moment and I decided to try out a one-off subscription box from The Northumberland Candle Company, as I thought they looked fun and the scents sounded different.

These are one-off boxes and you know what you will get before you buy. This one came in at £13.50, however, the price seems to slightly differ each month.

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

The NHS and them looking after my health and of course offering vaccines. I think we are so lucky to have free at point of access to healthcare.

7) What would you like the future to know about life during a pandemic?

It is hard to know if you are doing the right thing. Should you stay at home, should you go out? What is the right thing to do and when? And of course, the answer depends on you, there is no right answer.

8) Anything else you would like to mention?

How has life been treating you?
