We had our team 2020 close out call today and, as it is 'the season to be jolly', we had to reflect on the non-work positives personally of the pandemic.
Here are mine;
- We spent a lot more time in the garden early summer as there was nowhere else to go
- Getting to know our neighbours
- Exercising more (thanks Joe Wicks)
- I really upped my cooking game this year. Even now I am curing some salt beef and getting ready to sous vide some duck breasts in chinese spices
- Cheap steaks in the supermarket due to restaurants being closed
- Really concentrating on supporting small businesses when they were open (we are now good friends with our local microbrewery)
- Wearing masks on a cold day is great!
- Saving a hell of a lot of money from not going out
What are your upsides?
Our household is lucky as we could work from home (never been busier to be honest) and the kids could go to school when they wanted as were are officially 'essential'. We are a lot better off than many to be honest
