5 Things To Do During Lockdown.

Lockdown continues to drag on here in the UK. Though there is light at the end of the tunnel, so we’re told. What with all the time people are spending at home, gardens have never had so much TLC. As it was raining this week, I took the opportunity to plant some hedges. You can pick the things up for peanuts at the moment. Planting my hedges entailed digging ninety holes.

And then it was time for the grass seed.

And then the wild flower seed.

Reading is a great way to wile away the time on lockdown. My current read is a morbid one.

I have been doing a lot of writing of late. My work in progress is a book of novella length, consisting of two darkly humorous tales, set for the most part in the upper echelons of English society. One of the tales has a supernatural theme.

Shopping was once a pleasure; it is now at best an inconvenience, at worst a nightmare. The queues to get into the supermarket are pretty horrendous and I try and stick to smaller shops. I’d been on the look out for these for over a month. If they didn’t come in a pack of six, this would constitute hoarding.

My fifth activity has been cleaning. Here is my dog sheltering on dry land after the floor was mopped.

Have a good weekend.

  • Sounds like you’ve been busy, Guy. I share your sentiments about food shopping. I’ve found it’s less busy late morning/mid-day than it is first thing. 🙂

    • First thing here is reserved for key workers. If you have a surplus of Baked Beans Heather, let me know.

  • I’m glad you can get back to beans and toast. 90 holes sounds like a lot, but I’m sure the hedge will be lovely when grown. It is good you are writing for sure. Your dog looks a little annoyed at you. Have a terrific weekend, Guy.

  • Your garden will be looking amazing soon I bet. Can’t wait for your new book? How long till it comes out do you reckon?

    • That’s the plan, Trina. As for my book, tentatively named ‘The Gazebo’, it’ll probably be a couple of months yet.
