Enjoyment During The Plague

[Orbit]

I've been playing World of Warcraft Classic. It's "sort of" interacting with people.....

This week, I started playing chess again. It is a great hobby at the moment because it engages me for a longer period of time without being reliant on the weather or pandemics.

I have a lack of opponents but I do enjoy chess. Watch quite a few channels on YouTube

Employment - I've just retired BUT have applied for a job on the 2021 Census in the UK - have had an initial 'interview' but await confirmation.

Did I read that is to be the last ever one?

Think it depends on ££££

It must cost a fortune to run one but the information gained is very useful - but sampling is probably cheaper

This is a hard one for me. The cirumstances in which I grew up (no family, multiple foster homes -- all hated) have had one permanent effect on me. I do not much care for spending time at home. I have an enormous need just to be out among other people. And a lot of that time, I admit it freely, is spent in pubs. I don't drink a lot, I just like being out in public where I can sip my beer, listen to people talk, do my cryptic crosswords, and read. I do not enjoy these things at home -- I just can't seem to find the way to do that.

So this lockdown (and Toronto is under another one -- a month in, a month to go) is hugely oppressive for me, and getting harder as it goes along.

Well, at least you always have the warm fuzzy safe environment of RF.

On 2nd thought, you have my condolences.

What kind of leash do you wear?

The leash of self-restraint.

The leash of self-restraint.

Oh, the most restrictive kind.
