Our 1st Day Out of Lockdown

It Was Great to Get Out and About

For the first time in 66 days, we actually left the house for something other than shopping. It was great just to walk around town, do a bit of shopping, get some essentials, and grab an ice cream.

It is amazing how many things we took for granted that are a true pleasure now that we are allowed to go about our business. What surprised me the most, though, was the number of people down at the seafront. I’d seen pictures on social media but thought they might have been blown out of proportion with some camera trickery!

A lot of the shops were still shut with notices saying they were reopening soon. Unfortunately, Vodafone wasn’t one of them, but I’m hoping I can start working soon. Even though our lockdown has finished, I can’t wait to get started and have a proper routine again.

DIY Projects

It turns out, now that we are free to go out and about again, I have a list of DIY home improvement projects I can finally tackle now that I can get to B&Q.

• The Bathroom: It’s getting laminated.
• The Communal Hallway: It’s getting its holes filled and a fresh coat of paint.
• The Smart Lock: I may also find a deadbolt lock to fit into our flat so my dreams of having a smart lock can come to fruition sooner.

I best get off—I can hear the trip to B&Q calling, so I best get myself ready!
