We were in southern Spain when the \u2018State of Alarm\u2019 was declared about the Covid-19 outbreak, meaning only essential travel was allowed. We were <a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/coronavirus-covid-19-difficult-decisions-and-interrupted-sleep\/\">turned away from a campsite on Saturday 14th March<\/a> due to the state of alarm, and decided then to set off home. Fortunately for us, one of the reasons for essential travel (the list came out the following day) was to \u2018return to the place of habitual residence\u2019. During the weeks since then we\u2019ve had hardly any contact with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08171-1024x512-1.jpg\" alt=\"coronavirus road signs spain\" class=\"wp-image-37667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08171-1024x512-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08171-1024x512-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08171-1024x512-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC08171-1024x512-1-705x353.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Coronavirus &#8211; Avoid Travel <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the drive back we kept to ourselves as much as possible (pay at the pump petrol station and unmanned toll booths), and as the <a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/exodus-to-the-uk-seeking-a-safe-haven-to-ride-out-the-covid-19-storm\/\">Chunnel whisked us back to UK soil<\/a> on Tuesday we were advised not to get out of our vehicles. Back home we put ourselves into isolation for two weeks. We\u2019d had no advice about returning from abroad, but we didn\u2019t want to bring anything unwanted back to our community, and it felt like the right thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our isolation wasn\u2019t too bad, we\u2019re used to our own company and small spaces, but it was made easier because we had an end date. We even had a countdown drawn up, to help us through the trickier days. Then on <a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/two-weeks-of-isolation-over-the-relative-freedom-of-lock-down\/\">1 April (I kid you not) we were released<\/a> into the freedom of lock down along with the rest of the UK. Now we could go to the supermarket (as infrequently as possible) and go out once a day for exercise, you can probably guess that we couldn\u2019t wait to get out and running again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200401_090359137-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"Covid-19 lock down countdown\" class=\"wp-image-37812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200401_090359137-1024x576-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200401_090359137-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200401_090359137-1024x576-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200401_090359137-1024x576-1-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Our isolation countdown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On our first day of \u2018freedom\u2019 we did a supermarket shop for ourselves, and then cycled over to Jay\u2019s parents, who are shielding, and did a shop for them before cycling back (we&#8217;re car-less and Zagan has been SORNed as he won&#8217;t be out of storage for a while). The following day we both went out for a run on our own, and we both found it hard \u2013 physically and mentally having to avoid people while we run. It seems that mainly sitting around for three weeks does very little for your fitness, even though we did try to maintain it with an exercise bike and some Joe Wicks workouts. So less than two days after we got out of isolation and had our taste of \u2018freedom\u2019, we were both feeling low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200331_092417533-1024x576-2.jpg\" alt=\"Covid-19 lock down workout with Joe Wicks\" class=\"wp-image-37811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200331_092417533-1024x576-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200331_092417533-1024x576-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200331_092417533-1024x576-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200331_092417533-1024x576-2-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Me and Joe Wicks ready for a morning workout<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Life is just so strange, surreal, down right weird right now and I am finding it all a real struggle mentally. I know there are loads of folks worse off than me, those shielding, motorhomes stuck overseas, people who have lost their jobs or who have had to close their businesses and most of all those on the front line saving lives in the NHS, caring for those in need and simply keeping the world turning by ensuring we all have access to food and empty bins, etc. But no matter how much I try to think how lucky I am at the moment, I am still struggling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some days I feel OKish, and I can get my backside out of the door for a run or walk, other days I just can\u2019t seem to focus or get motivation to do anything. I have written lists of things I should be doing; with all the free time I should be fluent in Spanish by the end of this, The Cooler should be shining clean and I should be the strongest I\u2019ve ever been with all the strength and exercises classes available online. Personally I think should\u2019s are a big part of the problem. I feel guilty for not doing them and for wasting this opportunity \u2013 let\u2019s face it, if you were stressed out at work and someone said, \u2018how about a month or two off, we\u2019ll pay you a chunk of your salary, but you\u2019d have to stay at home and only go out once a day\u2019. Now that doesn\u2019t sound too bad, especially at the moment with the nice weather, but it just doesn\u2019t feel like that sort of offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200405_133117085-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"covid-19 lock down 1 a day walk\" class=\"wp-image-37814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200405_133117085-1024x576-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200405_133117085-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200405_133117085-1024x576-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200405_133117085-1024x576-1-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Exploring the local area on our &#8216;1 a day&#8217; exercise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To me it feels like I\u2019m being restricted, even though I know there is nowhere open to go out to. I am missing contact with friends and family, video calls are great but they are no match for a hug with your Mum or a giggle over a glass of something with your best mate. I really feel for those who are locked down on their own, and I know I am so fortunate to have Jay here with me. Sure we get on each other\u2019s nerves from time to time, but we\u2019re coping well and find that talking about how we are feeling really helps \u2013 that and not being in the same space for a couple of hours a day (one outside while the other inside, or taking it in turns to go running).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200406_123751456-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"covid-19 lock down 1 a day running\" class=\"wp-image-37815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200406_123751456-1024x576-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200406_123751456-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200406_123751456-1024x576-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200406_123751456-1024x576-1-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>It felt good to put on my running club vest for a virtual relay race we took part in. Sadly I was about 3 minutes off my usual pace, but I did my best.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I am also finding the uncertainty difficult to deal with. I know this won\u2019t all end on Monday when they do their 3 week lockdown review, just looking at Spain, France and Italy tells me that. So I am trying to mentally prepare myself for this being the \u2018new normal\u2019 until June (at least), if it ends sooner, great, but if not it won\u2019t be too much of a surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do I motivate myself to do stuff for potentially the next two months? I have no idea. Right now, I am being kind to myself and just doing what I feel like. Avoiding the news where possible, reading, sitting in our yard in the sunshine, playing Pop Master against my brother (via WhatsApp), running if I feel like it and walking if I don\u2019t. The TV is still staying off until 5pm (and it continues to be called Boris o\u2019Clock, although he&#8217;s in intensive care as I write this) and we\u2019ve started to play a press briefing drinking game to try to lighten the mood. One swig for each time they say the \u2018stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives\u2019 advice, &#8216;unprecedented&#8217; also gets a swig and any other phrases that pop up depending on who the speaker is. Oh and don\u2019t worry, the situation hasn\u2019t turned Jay back to the booze, we play the game with water as it makes sure we\u2019re drinking enough of the stuff \u2013 something we often forget to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200407_145307446-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"covid-19 lock down empty M1\" class=\"wp-image-37816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200407_145307446-1024x576-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200407_145307446-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200407_145307446-1024x576-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200407_145307446-1024x576-1-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>We keep seeing photos of the M1 looking empty (many local walks go over it), I waited for five minutes on a bridge to get this shot and there are still quite a few cars in it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My new thing to look forward to is a trip to the supermarket to get our food for the week (I also shop once a week for Jay\u2019s parents which is a tad stressful as I need to make decisions on their behalf if stuff isn\u2019t in stock, but thankfully they are very forgiving and it\u2019s lovely to be able to help them). Having never been a person who does a weekly shop \u2013 often a \u2018big shop\u2019 at Lidl followed by lots of nipping to the shop for fresh stuff or to see what has been yellow stickered. I now find myself writing a list throughout the week of what we\u2019ve used up or are running low on, and add to that a couple of lists of ingredients for new recipes. So far the supermarkets have been quite well stocked (we were in Spain when the panic buying was happening and luckily it was all quite civilised there) and we get most stuff on the list, then I head to the treat aisle. As I eventually leave my trolly is loaded with cake, puddings, chocolate bars, biscuits and crisps, with the boredom of lock down I have taken snacking to a whole new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200403_132330234-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"Covid-19 lockdown take away fish and chips\" class=\"wp-image-37813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200403_132330234-1024x576-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200403_132330234-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200403_132330234-1024x576-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_20200403_132330234-1024x576-1-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A weekly highlight is a takeaway from one of our local restaurants to help support them.

I don\u2019t want to catch it, and am taking as many precautions as I can, but I fully expect to get it at some point. Hopefully it will be just a mild case and I don\u2019t pass it on to anyone. I do worry about our parents catching it, this I worry about a lot. Reading reports that people are critically ill in hospital alone and dying alone because of Covid-19 really upsets me, and I can\u2019t bear to think about that happening to someone I know and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In answer to the question at the top of this rambling \u2013 how are we doing personally? We\u2019re doing OK, I think. There are ups and downs, but that\u2019s life, and I\u2019m probably just noticing them more as I have more time to think about things. Maybe next week I\u2019ll get myself in gear and clean The Cooler from top to bottom, but then no one is going to pop round and visit, so maybe it can wait a little longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How about you guys, how are you all doing?
