Originally, I had hoped to spend the first 3 months of freedom from having to go to work every, travelling, however, Corvid-19 (Coronavirus) put an end to that.
I managed to get to Hungary, where I was supposed to spend 3 weeks travelling around, but within a few days I had to make the decision to stay and not know when I would be able to move or to get back home. I chose to get back home. I am happy I made that decision, as we have not been in lockdown for coming on 9 weeks and I don't think I would have been able to live in an apartment for all that time. I admire all of those people who have done just that. The advantage for me in coming home is that I have a garden and therefore have been able to do things other than sleep, eat, watch my devices and read. The weather has been good, on the whole, so I have finished a couple of projects around the house. Finishing the patio area where the pool will go in a couple of weeks time for one.
Other jobs include cooking, cleaning, mowing the lawn and chopping down some old, dead trees.
However, tomorrow is the big day, the end of complete confinement. We will no longer need the 'attestaion de déplacement' unless going more than 100kms but the again, I don't want to go where there are lots of people. Well not quite yet. I can't go and see Wills and family as they are out of the 100kms radius and friends will all be going back to work, so won't be available! So in fact, things won't change that much for me.
My pensions seem to have sorted themselves out, at least I have had all three of them once!! The difficulty now will be trying to live of 800€ a month less!!!
