sooo you'd  think,  with being in  lock down / social distancing and not going out to work... I'd  have more time to come on here... but no... it's  not working  out that way...  at all... Have you found,  that all the plans and little jobs you'd  do ... if only you had time... aren't  getting done..., or maybe they are... just a bit slower than you thought...lol I am quite enjoying some elements  of the lock down..., but I love my job... so I do miss it and am looking forward  to when travel restrictions  are lifted... but otherwise all is good... I have a new hobby too...making greeting  cards..., which I will tell you all about in another post... so see you around folks... off to do some commenting and catching up on here...

I'm finding myself a little more lazy since the quarantine has been in place. I don't know why because I'm generally pretty active during the day but lately I've been putting things off. What's weird is I'm retired and have no set schedule even before the whole pandemic. Then the pandemic hits and I'm watching more tv. Are you making your greeting cards with the Cricut? Sounds like a fun hobby

As we are both retired, life did not change a lot for us. We stay at home more, we can only go grocery shopping early in the morning (before 10 am), that finally is what we always did.

It is funny how just how quickly time is passing, I am glad that you are enjoying your card making and I am sure that a post showing some of the cards you have created will be fascinating to read

That is great that you are keeping busy. My writing jobs are also keeping me out of trouble and occupied.

We have made it a point to try to do some of the things we've been putting off although in reality the virus hasn't made a huge amount of different to us.

@JudyEv I'm not worried... we live in a small coastal town so not too many deaths... but we have had the same tough lockdown as the big cities ... but the figures for new cases and deaths have been steadily declining over the last week...which is very good news... but ... the economic impact is going to be very bad

@sueznewz2 It must be a bit worrying in Spain. Our numbers have come down a lot.

It sounds as if you are getting something done that you have not done in the past. I am the same way, I am not using this time as well as I would like. There is tomorrow though.

I'm quite happy and contented during this social isolation also, but also concerned by all the hardships it is causing. I'd be interested to learn more about your card making.
