Life in a Lockdown #11
Happy Tuesday it has rolled around again!
I hope you are all doing well, anyone go out and queue at Primark when they reopened? It was interesting to see all pictures!
It’s been a long old week it feels like, but before we get into everything here’s the thankyous!
I have to kick it off by saying thank you to the lovely Bex at Futures for coming on this journey of lockdown remembrance each week and of course Jenni at Lyrical Host (affiliate link) for kickstarting the idea!
If you would like to take part I promise it is simple:
We do ask that you give both Bex and I a link back in your post, with how you find the link-up! You will be able to copy all the questions from below to answer in your own world.
Then all you need to do is pop back to mine or Bex’s post and pop your link in the inlinkz so we can come and read your post.
1) How are you feeling/coping?
2) What are you doing to keep yourself occupied?
3) How are you dealing with everything at the moment – are you self-isolated, going out for essentials etc? Has this changed?
4) What advice do you have for others?
5) What have you bought this week that others might like? Especially if from a small business.
6) How has your routine been this week?
7) Have you planned anything for once lockdown is over in the past 7 days?
8) Anything else?
So what did week 10 hold:
1) How are you feeling/coping?
Not too well this week – but it’s probably more me related than lockdown related.
I have a lump under my armpit that keeps coming and going and I feel absolutely awful when it is around. Spoken to the doctors and they have sent some meds out for me, but as it keeps popping up I may need a check-up. Yay!
I’m also worried about how quickly we are reopening everything. I hope that we don’t spike again, but going on how it’s gone in other countries I do worry we will.
2) What are you doing to keep yourself occupied?
Sleeping, eating, sleeping some more, animal crossing, look at my blog, sleep.
I think that about covers it lol.
3) How are you dealing with everything at the moment – are you self-isolated, going out for essentials etc? Has this changed?
We are still staying as we were on the whole, we’ve stopped going to the chip shop as they stopped how they were doing it and allowed people in to pick up.
I think both of us are nervous about the what-ifs.
My parents did pop to ours at the weekend and did some work in our garden to help pull up some weeds so it’s looking a lot better. All done with social distancing in place of course and we have a side gate so they didn’t even need to come in!
4) What advice do you have for others?
Just because we are being told that this or that is now open if you don’t feel safe opening that door, don’t do it.
Give yourself a week or two and see how things go.
That’s what we will be doing at least.
5) What have you bought this week that others might like? Especially if from a small business.
I have but I’ve been feeling too ill to get any photos so I’m going to hold onto them until next week!
Hopefully, you all understand.
6) How has your routine been this week?
All over the place – I don’t think I’ve really had one at all to be honest, some days I’ve been up in the morning, some days it’s not been until late afternoon.
7) Have you planned anything for once lockdown is over this week?
I would love to go to a little local shop. They have reopened now but I’m going to leave it for a while.
I’ve been missing visiting the little handicraft shops.
8) Anything else.
Take care, your important.

Yeah we are definitely putting our health and safety first these days, rather than just acting like it is all over.
You are very right it might be interesting to see how everything is looked back on in years to come.
I could not believe the queues outside Primark. I am staying away from shops as long as I can, its not worth the risk. I am back at work next week so things will be different for me.
It was crazy, wasn’t it? I have to admit I’ve not gone to any shops yet at all.
I think there will be – they have already stopped doing it 7 days a week and I think they will try and ease it down more ASAP. Trouble is other than repeats we will struggle with programmes that can’t be recorded at distance. As Eastenders going off-screen for the first time shows.
I hope you start to feel a bit better soon and the lump disappears. I’m also a bit worried how quickly everything is opening.
Thank you – I’m hoping that the numbers keep going down and we are going to do OK!
Hope your lump gets sorted. Can’t be easy and with everything at the moment all I would have wanted was someone to examine me but that isn’t possible. I hope we don’t spike- it’s so up and down and it is hard to decide what is right and what isn’t. Can we fast forward to next year please
I am the same I’m really worried we might again at some point but I do so hope not.
I was just saying today how I need to come up with a routine for my family as it is a free for all over here.
It’s so hard isn’t it – I can’t stick to a routine myself at all.
There is still so much uncertainty despite more areas opening up. Agree, seriously hope there is no second wave. Funny, but I have a lump in my arm pit too that I’m waiting to get checked out. Stay safe and healthy.
I hope all comes back OK with your lump! It’s hard isn’t it, not knowing what might happen.
I have not been to any shops apart from our weekly grocery run. I am still trying to limit contact with other people, although we have had a change in our household because our son and his partner have moved back in with us. As self-employed musicians, they can no longer afford to rent a flat, so they and their 2 cats have are now living in our house. It’s nice having our son at home, although our 2 cats are a bit miffed that there are now 2 more cats and we’ve had a few scuffles but luckily nothing serious.
Oh gosh, I bet that is hard on them and you – I’m starting to struggle now as well, everything seems to have ground to a halt when I thought things might start to pick up.
Completely agree about things moving too quickly in England. We have just changed a bit today. Interesting to see how it goes. x
Yeah I’m worried for sure, though I do hope for the best.
Hope you feel better soon! I had a lump under my armpit and after driving myself crazy with worry found out it was a cyst and nothing to worry about.
It’s good to see shops reopening and slowly returning to normal, but fail to understand the mentality of people who queue up and act like it’s the first day of the sales.
I won’t be chancing any large stores until I feel confident to do so, and then I be masked up and have a supply of hand sanitiser with me,
I know I saw pictures of queues and I was like come on! I know we all want some new things but really?!
Hope you are okay and feeling a little better soon. Everything is so uncertain at the moment,
Thank you – I think I’m starting to feel on the mend today.
Completely agree about things moving too quickly! Whilst we in Scotland are waiting to see which route we’ll be taking – will we be waiting for complete eradication like my fambam in Kiwiland, or will we start slowly reopening later today? I guess we’ll find out at lunch time!
It’s so hard isn’t it, I think in some ways it really is money over lives.
Lockdown has been HARD! I think a lot of people are going through the same thing. Hugs.
Definitely – I think and hope it has bought people together all going through similar.
Restrictions have eased here but there have been some smaller scale spikes occurring so everyone’s on the hand sanitiser every time we go out.
I bet people who had stakes in hand sanitizer are over the moon lol.
We are definitely feeling it, being in lockdown since Friday, March 13. It feels like so long ago now!
Oh wow yeah – we went into it a bit earlier than it was announced as well, as we both have conditions which could make getting it bad.
I’m concerned how quickly things are reopening. It’s like folks have gotten bored with the virus and are living normally. This makes me very nervous as cases are rising here locally.
Yes definitely! It really is like that :(, I hope numbers keep going down but I do worry they will spike back up.
