Hypos!
Going to see my Greek friends, in Greece. I was due to stay with them in late May, early July, before it got hot and touristy. Going to New Zealand. I promised myself it’d be my 70th birthday present to myself, that was 2019, so it’ll have to wait. Until I’m 73? Husband doesn’t travel any more, he’s a physical condition that’s horrid if it flares up; he’s fine most of the time, but I’d have gone to New Zealand on my own, probably stopping off in Cook Islands on the way.
Taking public transport up to the Midlands to see grandchildren I’ve not seen since February.
Taking public transport to see friends so we can enjoy a glass or two together.
Getting back to the ceramics group.
Just wandering around anywhere without a mask and that soupçon of fear.
Cinema, restaurants, theatre, galleries . . .
Yes the cinema and the smell of popcorn, nice meals out and shows, sounds amazing!! Greece sounds lovely, let’s hope it’s sooner rather then later but of course safe!

Yes, I keep thinking about this! I have screenshot a few items of clothes I like from various shops on my computer/mobile ready for Black Friday to see if I can get them any cheaper hehe I love a good bargain. But I also hope I get the right sizes, I measure myself but even then all shops sizes are quite different!

A holiday, as I haven't been on holiday for many, many years.
Last year, I was invited to go to the USA to watch the November Macy's parade, but it had to be cancelled. The airline tickets are now 'open' so I may still get to go to US, but it won't be to the parade, as I booked the 4 days off when I was a relief school escort, but as a permanent escort, holidays can't be taken in term time.

I like the theatre very much, we have an old small theatre, which is great, it's cosy and I've seen some great plays there.

Seeing my sister again (Brother-in-law has lots of health issues and we don't live near each other).
Panto! My daughter and I belong to a local theatre group and we always put on a panto in early January which obviously isn't happening this year and we miss our 'panto family' and the fun it brings.
Cinema and Theatre (missed seeing The King and I last April :()

Just putting in a word for things to be thankful for / good 2020 things - my puppy! She has brought lots of fun, laughter and naughtiness to the house.:happy:

I know that things will never really be the same but when lockdown does end and this whole covid virus calms down, it’s safer and we learn to move forward in the best possible way we can, what will be some of the things you get up to?

What do you miss?

I miss going to restaurants!!
Unless you are in Manchester, Liverpool , Bristol or Kent your wish can come true!! If you're in IoW, Cornwall or the Scilly Isles then it's game on.
Hope you can lose your freedom and not be fearful...
