Lockdown, Day #81

Jun 12, 2020 22:47

I decided to have a long-ish walk this morning, exploring some areas I'd not been through before, but realised my navigation was a bit off, and that I was reading the map a little wrong, which dawned on me when I realised I was not in the spot where I thought I was in at all.

It was a nice walk, although there was some backtracking, just avoiding paths that felt like they were leading me to trespass on crops.



Here's a picture from the walk; unfortunately I took it not realising I had a jogger coming up behind me (I can't stand it when they do that).

I got a couple of a somewhat bizarrely-placed gate, and you'll see why when you look behind the cut.





There is a pointless gates website that I can submit it to.



A close-up so you can see the sign.

I've barely left the flat since I got in.

I think I'm getting zoom fatigue badly; I know I should be savouring the time chatting with friends, but when the conversation drags all I can think about is how many things are on my "to do" list and my own business at the weekend. Sometimes even social activities feel like a tyranny, but I got FOMO so badly, yet at the same time I find myself yearning for some alone time.

I've been feeling bummed at my neighbours because they were just getting in the way, smoking outside, with no opportunity for social distancing as I tried to go out with my recycling, a mission that I abandoned.

Yes, I'm in a neighbour-hating mood tonight; I just wish I could make them all go away.

rambling, friends, habits, friendship, the neighbors, social distancing, technology
