Boredom in Lockdown. Am I alone?

[louisa maud]

I also have a fantastic neighbour,  one reason why we never moved , during lockdown when we could I  would order online shopping  and we would share it, only managed it 3 times, we prefer to go shopping on   a Friday at 8am when I drive her doing all the right things to keep safe
When we started to shop in the little shop we would knock to see if there was anything needed, both of us would come back with  a treat to share,  plus if we make something we share it, yet we don't go in and out of each others house, we have each others keys, we are both good for each other,  she is one of the nicest people I know, she is a treasure

Yes, my neighbour is even older than I am ,is not able to so anything for me really but she is THERE .
When I came to view the house she was standing at her door ,I went to say hello, and we ended doubled up with laughing .Like The Yorkshire advert we each decided the other would do!

How nice it is to have neighbours you can rely on, share a joke, shop together and generally look out for one another...
Living in a relatively small village our next door neighbour have a spare set of keys just in case.... have been known to get locked out and had to go and ask for the key to get back in!
During this entire time my three other neighbours/friends and I have done shopping for one another, collect prescriptions and anything else that’s required...
It all helps to make you feel more relaxed and caring knowing if anything were to go amiss there’s back up...
So important these days...

It is a comforting feeling when you have a good neighbour,

Sun is out this morning but it looks as if we had an awful lot of rain ever night, no chance of my mowing the lawn this today, I need to do it before I get to shaggy, suppose I could borrow a couple of sheep or goats !!

I found a lockdown friend at the beginning of the first lockdown.  I found her through RootsChat and we email daily - sometimes many times a day.  We have helped each other so much.  We whinge, worry, moan, laugh, send each other funny videos or links.  Any friend is a bonus but with the internet, they don't have to live nearby.

She knows who she is.

Some older people I know were bored during last lockdown. They are usually occupied with voluntary, community and church activities and visits to & from family & friends.

I have my Cat. I have Rootschat. Cat seems happy. Not good is that the Family History Library in Salt Lake City is still closed. However RootsChat is still open.
