What I&#8217;m finding at the moment is that coming out of lockdown is in some ways stranger than going into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday we all went to visit my Mum. The first time the kids and D have seen Mum since February. It was, of course, lovely to see her, but difficult as well because we are still socially distancing and a lot of the time I felt I was having to watch the kids (and to some extent Mum!) to ensure they weren&#8217;t getting too close. We also saw E who came to drop something for Mum while we were there &#8211; it was really good to see her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We went on a nice long walk (a little too far for F&#8217;s tastes) and had a lovely late lunch in Mum&#8217;s garden despite the very changeable weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/c7f7f19f-74a2-425e-8931-845aedfb2c9c-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-694\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/c7f7f19f-74a2-425e-8931-845aedfb2c9c-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/c7f7f19f-74a2-425e-8931-845aedfb2c9c-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/c7f7f19f-74a2-425e-8931-845aedfb2c9c-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/c7f7f19f-74a2-425e-8931-845aedfb2c9c-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/c7f7f19f-74a2-425e-8931-845aedfb2c9c-800x600.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/c7f7f19f-74a2-425e-8931-845aedfb2c9c.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We came back home mid-afternoon and did C&#8217;s quiz which was lovely as always and during that talk turned to whether the pubs might reopen soon and Saturday evenings might return to being a time to go out rather than stay in. I&#8217;d love to see friends and family properly again but I have to admit I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m ready for a return to socialising yet. I think it&#8217;s going to take some time for me to adjust again (just as it took me time to adjust to the lockdown) and I need to find a way of acclimatising myself to this mentally so I can actually enjoy people&#8217;s company rather than worrying about the risk. Not sure how though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today has been a pretty quiet day. I was up last, but it wasn&#8217;t that late. My neck and back had been aching since Friday so D suggested we tried a yoga session she&#8217;d found helpful before &#8211; so we did some <a href=\"https:\/\/yogawithadriene.com\">Yoga with Adrienne<\/a> before we had breakfast. My neck and back haven&#8217;t ached all day, so either it worked, or just two days away from my desk is good for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For breakfast we had some treats (chocolate almond croissants for me, D &amp; B, cinnamon toast for F) and in the morning the kids made some lovely Fathers Day gifts for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-instagram wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CBsdFgil9O5\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;
