I'M BORED!!!!!

[Black Pearl]

This lockdown malarkey is driving me nuts.

I've lost all concept of time, days, date, morning, afternoon and night. Now I just have periods when I drink coffee and periods when its wine - nothing else exists.

I am sooooo bored I have taken to photographing random objects around the house. The other weeks it was my Naim wireless speaker, today its some lenses.

Now you know how terrible retirement is.

I’m on the look out for a Jupiter 8. Beepy ...   ...  I can empathise with your feelings  and finding things to do that feel productive..   if I had any neighbours with their own gardens I think I might seriously consider ringing them up and organising a garden party / bbq with some party like loud music to boogie to for an hour maybe on Saturday or  Sunday !,  

I did clap for the NHS bu tilt a wee d bit daft with  no one else anywhere in the vicinity. But I did hear people whooping and clapping from the village  and the town two miles away which was heartening ...

A friend whose granddaughter is a newly qualified Doctor was walking home from a 12 hour shift last week when  it happened. And had no idea what was happening until a neighbour shouted that it was for people like her and she was apparently really overwhelmed... so though it sounds a bit daft ... it really is appreciated . 
 

The reflections look interesting ....btw

No time to be bored when your my age.  Every second, every minute counts....    Time to do things that you’ve been wanting to gir years.

 

C’mon Robin..... Think of times you’ve  been stuck serving in Jessops with a queue of nincompoops with silly questions....whilst outside the sun and sea were shining.

 

id do anything to be on the Coast now.... and as young as you.... I used to spend day long long happy hours....just me and my detector..

Typically retirement allows you out the house, I'd bloody love to be retired instead of redundant.

A 2m apart dance could be fun - catching CV and snuffing it not so much.

I have all sorts of issues with the clapping but this sin't a police site so not going to have a rant.

The Jupiter-8 is a fun lens, not sharp and it flares like a mad thing and it has a hellish glow wide open but fun to shoot with.

Tru dat - lockdown is better than Jessops

   Hmmmm... not sure I agree  about lockdown being better than knowing you have an income to support your family ... both scenarios are fraught with anxiety  and whilst having a pension is a relief , many who normally work and now have been made redundant instead of being furloughed, still may have weeks of anxiety waiting to see if they qualify for any help .....  As we try not to become Uber political on here as Beepy said, I’m not going to start a blame game here but empathising and acknowledging  that many people will have real worries about both their health and their futures this at least this gives people a platform  to have a rant ...   Being non judgemental about how or why someone feels the way they do is a better way to alleviate the damage that this crisis could  do to our mental well being ... just my opinion though ...  one thing is for sure ... it seems  the old saying may have been wrong in the case of CV ....and it’s  “ United we fall ‍  ....   ‍  divided we stand .” ... at least physically that is. ....

I tried to post a row of people hand in hand but it kept defaulting to just the two  hand in hand ... doh ... you get my gist ..

Interesting set of lens BP.... I'd also love to live by the coast at the moment.... Normally I'd just jump in the car and go somewhere but Lancashire police has been a bit hot in fining people using the new Coronavirus act.
