Agree! Tell us everything Panda. You're not the only bored one around here!

Duvet and Leg what's your secret?
I'd bite off my arm to wander around the shops, sit in a cafe, go to the farmers market, see my best friends, chat with a stranger on a train.
My life was great!! I miss it. I am getting in to the swing of all this but it's no substitute for how things were for me.
Will be an obese alcoholic come September mind

I plan things to do each day, the stuff around the house that I put off when I'm working normally. I make nice meals because I have the time, I relax and make the most of it because I'll be back in the rat race soon enough.

Oh, and lots and lots of alcohol! I'm actually eating healthily, if I could out the booze I'd lose weight.

Just sprinkled some grated cheddar and mozzarella atop a nicely crisped potato topping of a cottage pie which is now my established Sunday dinner during lock down. Should be nicely melted and ready to eat in a few minutes and my tummy's rumbling in anticipation.

Pillow Talk?

Love CT. Not a makeup wearer 'cept mlbb lipstick because a) stops lips sticking together when I havent spoken to a soul all day and nan used to always wear it, she was really polished.

I reckon Mac Velvet Teddy is as good, though, and €10 cheaper. With CT liner.

I love Mac reverence with pillow talk liner. https://ibb.co/Czkx8cn
Velvet teddy is a bit dark on me but I’m crazy pale. Reverence is a bit matte too and I love that.


Just about to have a shower.

I bought a lip duo from them last week. After all the talk of pillow talk, it was disappointing.

The lipstick is penelope pink,the liner is pillow talk and there's also a gloss, 2 free samples so I opted for foundation and mascara, 60e, they will be grand for me I hope, I prefer pale lip colours.

Perse, most people feel like you I think but I definitely needed a total break to gather my thoughts and totally reassess my life.I'm just really hoping that I will never go back to the complete rat race that was my life, I was chasing my tail continuously and I was wrecked.

I used to wear makeup purely to cover my paleness and nothing would cover my awful undereye suitcases, I now look little someone with high blood pressure due to being out the sun with all my walking, I'd just walk house to car previously and that was a chore. Not an undereye shadow to be seen, I know I look way better than I did a few weeks ago.
I couldn't care less if I ever again go shopping or to a pub(I get a rare longing), not pushed on going on holidays, I'm a recluse at heart,basically antisocial and a home bird, horses for courses.x

You should have gone out after the lad and asked him what was in the folder and the car.

You could be boards very own Kerry correspondent. :pac:

@Panda: it would be a bit difficult for me to be a correspondent or even a rascal when I hardly leave this house evenue when there's no lock down!

Sofa side with a happy tummy and slurping down a coffee.

Started watching an episode of Norwegian drama "States of Happiness ", while browsing Boards and for a few minutes thought my addiction to Scandinavian TV had resulted in me developing the ability to understand Norwegian spontaneously before I realised the first few minutes of dialogue where in English! I really need to sort some kind of social life once this bloody virus is defeated or I'll start talking in my own language soon.

I used to be a carer for a family member. Keeping any sort of social life is exceptionally hard which I'm not sure most people can appreciate. One thing that used to happen was when a friend would ask me if I wanted to go for a drink and I'd have to say.. 'I'll ask my mam and get back to you'. Meaning I had to check that she would be available to take over from me for a couple of hours. Pretty embarrassing for a full grown adult to be asking their mammy everytime they wanted to meet a friend. Of course that led to my mam feeling she should ask me before making her own plans in case I had plans and needed her help. Which is even weirder again, having to ask your daughter can you meet your friends. Still I was fortunate to have that help. I don't know your situation, precovid at least, but I know many carers are alone with little to no help and I can imagine only too well how tough and isolating that is.

I've been a carer for 17 years so your posts frequently strike a chord with me.
I focus quite a lot on other things, and especially my O.h now, but that's half the reason why I'm so easily amused and so attached to people I love.

At home trying not to kick off. I do all of the cleaning which I don’t mind I rather enjoy. But, today he put on the dishwasher. Note, didn’t load it, merely put the tablet in and switched it on.

I came downstairs there a few minutes ago and he said “love, the dishes are washed” and actually gestured at the dishwasher. I would have emptied it had he said nothing but he can empty it now himself after that

Evening all Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday. Me, I did a good two mile walk at 8.30 this morning, nice lunch, sitting room side since reading the Sunday papers and generally chilled out for the day, took the executive decision half an hour ago to have a few Sunday evening beers

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Sitting down after emptying the dishwasher all talk me.

I actually was a carer for my dad, very briefly. He was so independent most of his illness. But towards the end he needed help as he got very sick very quick. I am so glad I got to help him and take care of him, as he took such good care of me all my life, esp the Xmas I needed an operation and was in a cast the poor man used to bring me breakfast in bed and sit on edge of my bed eating his so as I wouldn’t be lonely, what a man! But... I can’t imagine how difficult that would be on someone long term. You definitely have to be a certain kind of person, loving and caring and very empathetic, which wouldn’t be adjectives I’d use to describe myself except for when I was with my father. I just couldn’t do that for someone else and then you see these wonderful people in hospitals and nursing homes who show up day in day out for feck all money, caring for and loving someone as if they were their own family. Couldn’t do it. Not for all the money in the world. I couldn’t. So much respect to anyone who can.

I love all things Scandi. My Viking genes must be strong. One of my lecturers was from Denmark and she said I had a Scandinavian soul, but that was in reference to my directness (she was utterly bewildered by how indirect and often insecere we Irish are!)and that directness is mich more likely down to being somewhere on the spectrum than any long boat building nutters or shield maiden fighters in my ancestry. I'm just clueless and can only do subtle following a long lie down and need an even longer one after. I prefer to think it's down to a constantly stoned Scandinavian nutter though a la Floki. I love that blood thirsty sweet heart.

Decided I like talking to myself and I'm going to keep it up.
Havent had such a stimulating chat in a while.
Im actually good company.
Just finished lunch/dinner and might go and have another shower just to break up the day.

@duvet

@duvet I completely see where you're coming from. Being free of that kind of stress must be amazing for you and I'm glad When all this is over I hope you can maintain your new found calm. Before all of this I had started to chase my tail a bit too. So many balls in the air that I couldn't keep them all there. It's now become very obvious to me what I need to change in the future. Even learnt one or two things about people as well.
