London on 'Lockdown' - 4 Months In
Just when you thought you could jet off to Spain…
It’s all changed again this month and I’m sure some of you will have taken advantage of it by going to one of my bucket-list locations for after lockdown and for those of you who didn’t sure are regretting it now - I know I am!
With the Government asking for us to return to work where possible and the furlough scheme changing for companies as of August I think a few of us will be feeling a little uneasy over the next month.
Before I check in with you all again let’s remember to use this time wisely and for the good of yourself and the ones closest to you…
We’ve had a month of unusual circumstances, maybe even more odd than being on complete lockdown? I’ve found myself a little in limbo where I feel as nervous as I did for the first day of school after the summer holidays…
Key Points for this month:
Wear your mask
Still keep your distance pleaseeee
But also remember the Gov now also don’t want you to be obese *eye roll*
You can book a holiday but who knows what country will be put on 14 days quarantine next so should you?
Check out what other Gov schemes will be coming into effect soon that you may benefit from e.g. Green Home Grant
Make sure you remember to book some annual leave for yourself! Even if you’re still on furlough…
Can you tell I’m a little bit cynical now?

Furlough has given me so much time and opportunity to work on myself and focus on what I want to - and I’m glad to say that I managed to get myself into that mindset… However looking back on the last 4 months does make me realise that I need more balance…
So, moving forward as the country starts opening it’s doors again that’s what I aim for..
Working efficiently
Exercise regularly + Eating well
Creating blogs you can relate to (suggestions welcome!!)
Illustrations + Design
Creating resources for you guys
Exploring cities (including eating + drinking aha)
Probably should continue to do some walks around and about the place…
What have you learnt over the past few months about yourself?
