Thanks for checking in love. I'm glad you're still talking to your Sis love. How are you coping with the arrangements for lockdowns etc? Are you in the tier 3 level area?

**Angie** · 30-10-20, 08:18 PM

Manchester is in Tier 3 Suzi yes

Secondly, I don’t believe that you are alright. Yes we all have to make the most of the current situation but it sucks big time and you have been getting out and about with your pub lunches, lunch club and bridge which was all really good for you and now that is all gone and that is so unfair. I hate to see you return to the life of a recluse. The one thing you do still have is this forum so please keep talking to this crazy gang. Maybe you could put together another quiz to keep that pair of brain cells occupied and work ours too.

You’re a good man and everyone gets worried when you aren’t around.

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

I completely agree...
The lockdown issues must be difficult when you had got into going out lots and now not having social contact....

How do you feel about talking to people on Skype? Its at least nice to see people and have a chat. For me being reclusive is my own prison. But its terrible.

And having a chat this way with People could help you. Its no substitute for meeting people face to face. But these are weird times.

Yes we are in tier 3 though from the radio this morning the whole country may be going in to full lockdown again apart from schools which will remain open.

**Suzi** · 31-10-20, 10:31 AM

Just seems madness to me to keep the schools open. If you want somewhere to spreads germs, bugs and diseases it's a school.....

How are you doing with it all though Mike? I worry that as you live on your own you're getting more and more isolated... Mira's idea is a good one - do you "do" skype or zoom or whatsapp video chat?

**Stella180** · 31-10-20, 10:35 AM

I’d be happy to video chat with you guys.

**Strugglingmum** · 31-10-20, 06:54 PM

I do zoom coffee dates with my chums, its lovely to see people in the flesh.

**Paula** · 31-10-20, 09:07 PM

I can just about cope with 3 other people on Zoom, before my little brain implodes
