I have been trying to open the doors but the wind is blowing them firmly shut again. The damp is making my bones complain again.<\/p>\n<p>I cannot say I have ever felt as isolated and out of touch at anytime in my life so far as I have during the weeks since March 23rd this year when lockdown restrictions were formally introduced in the United Kingdom. Everything is strange and surreal. Even the most mundane activities as we go to the shop masked like cowboys with bandanas as we buy a hand of bananas. The novelty has worn off now though.<br \/>\nWill we ever get back to normal? I am not convinced its going to happen anytime soon. One year, two years, longer perhaps. It&#8217;s hard to imagine really. So far we have had restrictions for 159 days.&nbsp; And we are still here.<\/p>\n<p>if only I still had something to say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRivers know this: there is no hurry.
