I haven’t been out of the house now for around 4 weeks (except to check the mailbox) and after enjoying going out for lunch several times a week over the last few years I am really feeling the isolation. I have been talking on the phone and having FaceTime ‘meetings’ with the family and friends but I can’t hug the grandchildren.
Hi Hazel, good to see you! It has been five weeks for me as my last bus ride to town was on March 17th, St Patricks Day. Like you, I had been going out on weekdays, also Sundays. There was Movers and Shakers including two-course lunch on Tuesdays; coffee morning in the church hall on Weds, coffee at Costa with my friend on Fridays and choir practice on Thursday evenings. I think my voice has seized up from non-use except on phone calls! The day before I began my isolation, my daughter came to set me up on Skype, so it has been a joy to have visual calls, especially with my grandson. Like you, I miss the hugs a lot. Stay safe
