Throughout lockdown and to some degree since too, I have not been getting myself out and about socialising. I’ve gotten into the habit of staying in and it’s not been easy to break. I do enjoy nights out and it is nice to put on some smarter clothes every so often as I am quite scruffy at work.

Sometimes it’s simply the thought of making the effort, and yet I know once I am out the effort will have been worth it. Tonight was a classic example. A BBQ with friends was cancelled, so the revised plan was going out for a bite to eat. Come late afternoon it really was tempting to not go out. However, one final push and a shower and a change of clothes, oh add in yesterday’s haircut, and I was good to go. Enjoyed a very nice meal…

My aim is to try and ramp this up a little now. I have been a hermit for far too long. Quite a few things happening in September already… Watch this space!
