What are you really missing - staying in?

[RobM]

1. The band (especially our drummer - she's gorgeous!)
2. Breakfast at a café
3. Just going for a drive to - oh, anywhere
4. Football, of course!
5. Menorca - holiday cancelled like everyone else I imagine

So that's my top 5. I'd add a few more but 5 is ample. How about you?

Pretty much my 5 but in different words!

 

[Mad Cyril]

Pubs.

 

[Blueronron]

1/ Missing seeing Mum aged 90, speak every day but not the same
2/ Missing my son, becoming a dad for first time soon, and not being there to share a beer or three
3/ Walking/running and not having to swerve someone I don't know
4/ Going shopping and not scrubbing up after wards
5/ Just watching or hearing the news and having cheerful news

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

My daughters who both work in healthcare
Beers at West Road Tap
Long country walks with Mrs G, woof and a pub lunch
Two holidays already been canned
Strangely my job .

 

[Cultist of Sooty]

Being able to be with my friends. Sure, we can video chat online but it's not the same.
Going out for a good long walk on a nice day.
Just popping out to the shops casually and not having to plan it like a military expedition.
Being at the football. The hubbub of the crowd. Moaning about the ref. The feeling of communal ecstasy when we score a goal.

The first time I do some of those things, I am going to cry like a baby. I am going to cry a lot the first time back at Roots Hall.

 

[MK Shrimper]

My daughter not spending hours on my mobile talking & facetiming her mates.

 

[Ricey]

1. Work, only 6 months into a new job and really love it. Hope I have a job to go back too.

2. Sport, mainly boxing and football.

3. The ability to just go to the shops and get stuff like a manly trip to Screwfix and being able to get what you want.

4. Seeing family.

5. Walking the dogs and it not being a mission to avoid all the idiots.

I usually lock myself in a toilet cubicle at half time and have a little cry.

So! 40 minutes after the rest of us!

 

[OldBlueLady]

Still managing to see my parents and my daughter through windows when I drop stuff off to them - miss giving them a hug though.

I really miss popping into a coffee shop or for cafe breakfast or lunch on one of our days off.

Miss my work lot, we really are like a family.

Miss my football!

These will be happy tears, possibly changing tone slightly later on depending on the scoreline.

So! 40 minutes after the rest of us!

First home game this season, I just about made it in time and got to my seat just as we were kicking off. There were problems on the C2C trains and I ran all the way from Fenchurch Street to Liverpool Street to catch a train that would get me to the game on time.

We were 2-0 down inside 15 minutes and probably lucky not to have let even more in. The bloke who sits next to turned to me: "Do you wish you hadn't bothered running now?"

With hindsight, I showed a damn sight more energy and commitment than half our team did for a lot of this season.

 

[KevinJH]

My family. Nothing else comes close.

 

[Supernaut]

The only things I feel are missing from my life during lockdown are football and craft beer from a key keg.

Co ckles & whelks from Osbornes at The Old Town. ( Deliberately left a gap between o & c, as usually when you type that name, the swear filter kicks in! )
