Football is an obvious miss for all of us, but what else have you got out of the habit of?

I've not bought a lottery ticket.
Haven't listened to Radio 4 much.

    Sat down and read the Racing Post in a nice quite cafe in West Wickham.
    Two flat whites and a slice of homemade cake. 
    Simple pleasures.

    Snap! Well, almost. My finger got so fat it was getting painful. I took the ring off a fortnight ago and still have the dent in my finger. Ring is now in Mrs Stig's jewellery box awaiting a trip to the jewellers.

    Take the opportunity to update your Tinder profiles before you put the rings back on again.  ;)

    Both me and my wife have really missed a decent coffee. Went to the Deli in Bexley Village this afternoon and got a takeaway, it was lovely.

    Usually worn to to prevent getting hassled on the train journey to work eh?

    Been bored 

    Missed normality. Actually quite like the solitude.

    Had a daily uninterrupted peaceful shit. Honestly 60 seconds from the door slamming shut and I’m being hassled with all kinds of requests from the kids - and the wife has now banned me from taking my phone in as it’s just an excuse to ‘hide away’.

    Too bloody right - it’s the only peace and quiet I get all day!

    As my 25 year old stepdaughter moved back home at the start of the lockdown I guess I have to say made sweet love to Mrs AUN. Apart from a quick rendezvous in the shed it’s been a bit barren in that department. I don’t mind though, there’s still cuddles. Which is nice. I guess.

    Going for a nice coffee is one of my favourite things to do. Always brightens up my day for whatever reason. Actually had a takeaway a couple of days ago for the first time since march - it was great
  • Swimming.  Normally swim 1500 metres Monday-Friday. 

    Mind you, got this email yesterday ... I don't think I'll be the first to dip back in :neutral: .

    (scope for water based puns here). 

    OUR SWIMMING POOLS

    Whilst the government has not announced anything official regarding the re-opening of swimming pools, we are also working closely with Swim England and Swim Wales to look at ways in which we can safely re-open our pools and other swimming facilities. These measures will take account of water chlorination, air circulation, social distancing, plus sanitising and operational protocols within changing rooms.

    Swimming pool changing rooms always feel gross to me at the best of time’s. Hate walking onto a damp bit of the floor - makes my toes curl.

    Funny thing perhaps - but looking at the original post - I haven’t missed football at all.
