Anyone getting nuts during the Covid-19 pandemic

HPE · May 16, 2020, 15:25

Hi,

- I have started to get nuts during the Covid-19 pandemic.
- I am a Mediterranean working in the UK, virtually all close friends living outside the UK. The social life here has been killing me for some time, but this pandemic restrictions seem to become the last nail to the coffin.
- I wonder how you do keep your sanity out there? One sentence - two sentences - some practical hints can help a lot.

Many thanks.

To be honest, I don't mind the restrictions. Finally, my usual lifestyle of avoiding human interaction as much as possible is socially acceptable

I look at the improvements it has brought: way less traffic on my way to work, a guaranteed parking spot right in front of the office, way less time-wasting meetings. And since I only have to be on-site for one day of the week, much more time to pursue side-projects.

I am a Mediterranean, hence I need people in the long term as much as I need air or water in the short term.

But I am very happy for you.

So just meet your friends or meet other people who are willing to break the rules. There should be enough places in Londinium where you can hide from the cops.

Read these books and visit the secret places :-)

It's interesting to see what's going on in Spain.
