and I am not sure how I will cope having to mix again with the great unwashed once a more normal way of life returns assuming it ever does.
I really understand this.. At the moment there is no need for excuses or hiding away , no one has coffee mornings, birthday , wedding or 'any excuse you like' parties, there are no awful neighbourhood BBQ's or invites to pop in and see us at the camping!
No pressure to join a club or talk to other people in the 'same boat' etc..
I can walk my dogs , read my book potter about do a bit of writing and generally enjoy my own space.
Not sure how I will cope with the whole people thing once this passes ( if it ever does)

I am so glad I am not alone, I hear stories of those poor souls who are desperately lonely during lockdown and I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me enjoying solitude.It's been great and not needing to find excuse to avoid attending social functions .
I had a visit from some 'long lost' relatives in 2019 and seeing them coming I hid in the garden but they telephoned my son and said the car was on the drive where was I so I had to let them in
No fear of unwanted guests at the moment

You hid in the garden......😂🤣😅....I must be honest, I have a spy hole in my front door, saw who it was, when they knocked and didn’t answer the door,
