The COVID-19 diaries: questions

This is one of the bonuses of the lockdown – I now get to go on walks with my kids again. Before they were too busy hanging out with their own friends.

I have never been a big fan of Easter -– it’s not a very diabetic-friendly celebration – and I get twitchy when everything is shut and the city is quiet. Oh! That’s right – everything is shut and the city is quiet! It’s like we’re permanently trapped in a boring stat holiday, after we’ve eaten all the food and we’re feeling drowsy and a little self-loathing.

Our neighbourhood has really gone to town with the bears. We even have three bears sellotaped to our windows. Some of them are scary. Some of them are not bears. Still, it’s a fun thing to spot them and it gives you an excuse to stare into your neighbours’ windows.
