I ENJOYED LOCK DOWN
Looking back I realize I enjoyed lock down, yes there were things at the time that killed me and I hated it in most ways, but its simplicity was beautiful and self finding medicine.
I really think many folk had a once in history chance to reset/reboot their lives, attitudes and habits. I have never had so much time to think reason and decide. I had simplicity, the removal of choices was almost a blessing.
Looking back - I dunno, was not all bad.
...............................perhaps thats just me though and my F***** them they wont get me down attitude.

Re: I ENJOYED LOCK DOWN
Had great opportunity to connect on a different level with my teenager kids.
But I also got fat. Cooking was one of the major events daily.

Re: I ENJOYED LOCK DOWN
I enjoy the wide open spaces in the supermarket, everybody kept a decent distance from me. I worked my arse off in and around the house doing long neglected stuff. At least I stocked up on enough beer for the whole duration but my stock was starting to run low. My reloading press worked overtime. Spent a lot of interesting time with my student sons, played a lot of chess, darts and Sjoelbak. Better than any Dec holiday.

Re: I ENJOYED LOCK DOWN
The millions of people that lost their livelihoods might disagree with you guys.
The statistics are in now, now we know for a fact it was a farce that achieved nothing and created untold misery.
Spare a thought.

Re: I ENJOYED LOCK DOWN
I feel sorry for everyone that lost their job and was against this lockdown.
I care more about Julius Malema's health, than I do about the millions of people that took to social media to profess their dedication to "Lives over the economy".
Anybody that is that intellectually challenged, deserves all the misery that comes with their decision.
The only plus side to this lockdown, was that for about 3 months we went back about 20 years, when there was still a semblance of civility in this shithole.

Re: I ENJOYED LOCK DOWN
**********************
This post was for and about those that did not lose everything, some lost a lot some made fortunes.
As the heading states, "I - me" I enjoyed lock down. I might add that that took some effort, it was not a holiday, but it was really a self finding time - the longest time I have ever had to myself since school days.
After I realized it is what it is and it was not a war I could win, I went about making the best of it and it was good.
Loved the clandestine braais and get togethers.
