What do you miss the most about pre pandemic life? Give me a list of your top three.

Going to the movies and being able to sit down normally at restaurants. Besides that it hasn't really inconvenienced me in any way.

Mostly establishment-related, no trivia nights, Taco Tuesday, Thirsty Thursday at the pub, casual dating - now if you're venturing out into COVID-land that girl better be badass ...um, also museums, sporting events, and so on

  1. Not feeling like people I care about were in constant danger of dying or developing preexisting conditions from a highly contagious virus.

  2. Touching my face at work.

  3. Being able to do (in person) little supportive gestures for people, like go to their doctor's appointments with them, without feeling like that might actually be the WRONG thing to do.

Restaurants! Remember when you could just walk into a place and they’d come over and lay nice food in front of you?

Socialising! Remember when you could meet your friends? More than one at a time? Indoors?!

Being stuck in one place - and it’s not London! This is the longest I’ve stayed in one place for years. I’m in Scotland. Every time I see shots of London on a film or TV show I want to cry. I’ve even seen my building. It’s torture.

Hugs. Hugs with friends. Hugs with workmates. I am the hugging type. I need your hug to convince myself you want to be good to me. Opera. I want to doll me up with one of my girls and listen to Baroque Opera. Dojo. I miss visiting the Dojo. The place where I used to practice Zen. I miss my teacher. The Dojo is good for my body and soul. 1. Hugs, 2.Opera, 3.Dojo .

Dining out, doing stuff with friends in public, being able to do literally anything without having to plan around the virus

Closeness. Being able to go out and touch anything without fear. Free breathing....

  1. I miss having serious romantic prospects. 2. I miss not having to think about the virus whenever I leave the house. 3. I miss having new things to talk to people about.
