Friendship and relationships in Lockdown
As the gov. adds more and more advice to people about ‘doing more out there’ my SHIELDING advice has stayed the same. Fairly clear. But ….. I have been seeing some friends and had drive bys in the car with generously socially distanced meetings on the driveway. Then last week… a breakthrough! My sister had quarantined for the two weeks of her annual leave and tested negative for COVID-19 twice, and was able to spend two days in our own family circle, BUBBLE. She’s back to work and carefully masked and socially distancing now but we are feeling so much better. Being me, not putting stuff into words and needing lots of close support, has meant having PA’s in each day, risky but life saving, and usually 'being out there being seen' is how it works for me. This has been a particularly tough time and as I’ve said in my blog before “INCLUSION is when they miss you when you don’t turn up”. So have I, and people like me, slightly disappeared?
All these relationships are really important, oh and nearly forgot …… last thank you to Jade for walking my dog and of course to my Ma and Sister for reminding me to wash my hands!
