Lovely first few days of the year watching films, lazing about, reading newspapers in bed, cooking good food, drinking good wine, going on walks, playing records, sprawling out on the floor and reading comics.
A few days ago I was rather struggling with lock-down: missing pubs, restaurants, friends, work, the general bustle of a busy life.
I find it helps, if you can, to actively lower your expectations: to reset and limit your emotional bandwidth into assuming that home, and the nice things you can do in it, is all there is.
If I keep on kicking against the restrictions, I start to get frustrated and bored. If I accept this more limited life, I start to rediscover the joy in it.
No idea if this is remotely helpful to anyone else, but it helps me.
