SURVIVED ISOLATION /LOCKDOWN WHAT YA DO

Don from Westmere

I SURVIVED the 14 day isolation, now for next 14 day lockdown. In fact i'm into my 21st day of been fenced in as started early in preparation.. Firstly I will tell my feelings at time, yours maybe similar ?
After getting thru the first few days of (tell u the truth) a stressful time with shades of anxiety & some panicking was felt. However I found getting up at night and hitting the computa in dead of night eased the stress. At times with hot flushs I thought I was a suspect of this 19 thinking about where I had been prior to this lockdown. Once into the forth day I felt relieved and was going to get thru this, I figured out not watching tv news was the less stress, I already knew what I had to do so turned over too just listening to music, that did the trick in my minds way.
Not to get bored many chores were being added to a list apart from cleaning. Hit the yard looking around and saw what needed to be attacked, funny all those little jobs you put aside are now getting attention. The front yard is so tidy u could back a large van into space that was cleared. Obliviously the garden got a bit of attention, even placed a 1000lt water tank into its position after sitting around for 15yrs. Plotted a area for a 2nd future garden, that will keep me going before winter sets in,just need seedlings then. I don't go for walks in streets as I figure i'm keeping the bones rattling whilst working on projects. I do enjoy a beer at end of day tho .So what did you get up to, be interesting to see what jobs you invented to keep one insanity. Keep well

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
