November 10 – Life in a Lockdown #32

It almost feels like so much longer has passed than a week since I last wrote this. A lot of change in the world.

Over the US Biden is now President-Elect, Trump isn’t happy and shouting cheats. I feel like the next few months could be quite turbulent for the US and wish them the best as things change over.

We are of course now in “Lockdown 2”. I’ve seen little difference out my window. The amount of traffic is still the same, while in lockdown 1 there was a definite decrease.

Of course, it was Remenderence Day on Sunday, a very different one this year. If you haven’t been able to give the money you would normally for your Poppy do think about doing a donation to The Royal British Legion online, instead this year. 

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 32 hold:

1) How are you feeling/coping?

I’m exhausted (I feel like I say this every week) thanks ME. However, I think the darker, colder days are definitely playing a part at the moment.

My eyes are struggling as well. I do find that the daylight makes a difference to them, so the darker days means fewer hours of seeing better.

It was near impossible to get a delivery slot this week again – I’m guessing panic buying is back. Thankfully I got one with Iceland, who always seem to come to the rescue at these times.

We fall into a bit of a hole with deliveries, as we aren’t fully shielding, so we don’t get special access. However, my mobility means we always use home delivery, so it feels a bit like we have been missed as we can’t just go out and shop, and we are still classed vulnerable as well just not extremely vulnerable. 

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

Actually not that much – unsurprisingly seeing as lockdown 2 has kicked in here in England.

We’ve been watching some TV, doing some blogging, wishing the world was a different place you know the normal.

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

I think it’s going to be pretty turbulent, the virus, other things happening – I think the world is going to carry on being a very strange place to be. 

In the short term, it’s my Birthday on Monday and I’m trying to forget about it. 

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

How people came together and looked out for one another. We can on the most part be supportive beings and times like this do show that.

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

Nothing this week – yay look at me being all good haha.

I did find out that my favourite handmade shop due to lockdown is going to do a Facebook market (Bespoke Lichfield Christmas Extravaganza). Which made me happy, I will hopefully be able to get some gifts from there when it comes around. 

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

I’ve found that having something to hold onto and fiddle with has made a big difference to me. It somehow calms me.

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

I absolutely HATE fancy dress, book day at school, dressing up for parties I hated it. However, put me in a costume for a show and stick me on stage (especially a musical) and I was in my element.

Yes, this confuses me as well – I don’t understand why I am like it – I just am.

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

The heating – why has it got so cold?
