it takes a pandemic

I haven't posted here for a long time, actually a really, really long time. It takes a pandemic to bring me back to the surface of the blogosphere. Speaking of which I hope you are well, and keeping safe and sane. The reason I'm here now is simply that there seems time again, I'm not entirely sure what happened, life just seemed to speed up to an insane speed where I was just rushing from one thing to another, without time to digest, which is kind of what I used to do here I guess. 

After my initial pandemic anxiety, I seem to have settled into this new way, I'm not missing my commute for sure, I feel happy to be home. I'm keeping up with friends albeit in a different way, but it's actually really nice, I feel friendships are strong. It's the hugs I miss, anyone who knows me will know I'm quite a huggy person, so that's weird. I really miss hugging my mum and dad, even though I can kind of feel it in a big virtual hug, it not the same. I'm lucky, life is treating me well, and of course we have the garden, it's the new divide these days, those with, those without and I'm one of the lucky ones. And I'm so thankful. Thankful for the garden, and the new time I have (not commuting) to spend in it, doing the things I've been wanting to do for so long. Having the time to grow those seedlings, to tend them, to keep them watered.
