Just really thinking about life after lockdown and the positives

Families spending time together going for walks and cycles.

Can hear birds singing and not just the sounds of cars and less pollution.

Appreciation of the keys workers of the world.

I'm enjoying the slower pace of life and learning with the kids.

Makes me consider teaching after this.

I built a raised bed and stepped shelves in the garden out of a couple of old pallets. In a few months, I will have fruit and veg galore.

I am hoping to change a y stoney patch into a veg patch, what are are stepped shelves? I'd love to know what you have built and if it is easy to do and grow.

I'm not very good at growing anything, house plants seem to be allergic to me but I want to give it a go.

Am I the only one with no positives from lockdown and absolutely despise life at the moment? Complying with all regulations but haven't been this unhappy since acquiring my disability.

You can't be that bad.

Most people who think plants die around them. Just forget to water them or water them too much. Or put them in the wrong place.

Keep them in your living area. They need Co2

What it says on the tin, really. At the back of the raised bed, up against the wall, I've built a set of three wooden steps. I've put a load of planters on the steps, so that everything gets plenty of sun. Nothing ends up hidden in shade. I'll DM you a photo

Other positives:

-Many repossessed properties will be available on the market due to increased unemployment, good opportunity for investment.

-Due to additional deaths more houses will be available on the market which will help reduce housing problem for benefit applicants.

Is this tongue in cheek ?
