Don't know if this is too soon but just another thought for today. We have 3 teams in our office and the last team is back at work today and it's noticeably noisier. It's a bit irritating as I have enjoyed the quietness (they are a particularly chatty, laugh a lot bunch). I did not miss them. It got me thinking what have you missed about lockdown being over?
I miss the no traffic, less cars on the road, no road noise or any noise for that matter. It was really quiet in the suburbs. I miss the families and couples walking everyday, it was nice to see people actually spending time together without their phones. I miss cooking and baking more. However in saying that, it is something I have slightly retained as I did enjoy home made food and treats.

NBR What Do You Miss About Lockdown?

It's not a massive diff for me as not working but I'm not a hugely confident driver so I loved the quiet roads so much. I use to do the groceries at 8am on a Saturday but over lockdown it was mental atsat thisIthis time so I moved to a Friday night about 6pm. Now we're on level 1 Friday evening traffic is quite busy which I struggle with ...
It wasnt a huge difference for me to be honest but i also miss the silence (close to main road, and train track but i like the trains so.. yeah haha)
I miss people actually keeping their feckin distance and if i had to take the kid with me to market theyd back the eff away but now its a damn free for all and ooh touchy touchy and mummy gets stabby stabby and grouchy grumpy hahaha
I miss having the excuse of lockdown not to see people as well bahaha

i've been working from home right through so day-to-day not THAT much changes except for I no longer need to coordinate myself to book online groceries, and i'm walking less (need to fix that).
I miss the lack of expectation to do things.
I feel like i have to 'use my weekends' again, and during lockdown i really really really just was able to feel okay about holing up at home reading and didn't feel like I 'should' be doing things. I'm feeling 'should-y' again and it's not great.

Ooh yeah trudi thats a huge one for us as well, my partner feels like we SHOULD be going out to do things im like ? No??? Hahahahaha. Its okay if its just a park walk in which we sneakily feed the ducks, apparently youre not allowed to anymore! but yeah im like who are u and what have you done with the real man!!?? Hahahaha
We live on a busy main road and during lockdown there was hardly any traffic, which meant my house was literally dust-free. I was only cleaning & dusting once a week during lockdown. Now that the traffic is back to its usual craziness, I'm back to dusting certain rooms 2-3 times a week (and it's not something I enjoy doing, but I can't have clients seeing dusty surfaces).
I miss the neighbours dogs not barking, now things are back to normal there are a couple of neighbours whose dogs continually bark more than ever. I dont miss the grumpy impatient people who complained as if it's our fault. Now that we're at level 1 people are more relaxed and happier and I'm just fine with that.
I do miss the quiet roads. I do miss family time . I don't miss the workload or stressful customers I faced on a daily during covid.
Oh I can relate to you Maree in regards to the colleagues at work.
Big redundancies in the pipeline due to covid in all departments at work . Everyone is feeling anxious about jobs . That's all everyone is talking about on breaks .

Agree on the parking! Right outside my work, free parking, guaranteed spots. Even though I cant do that anymore have been able to use my cousins carpark as she is still working from home. Saving me money, so grateful.
As the days go on, i feel like I'm adjusting well. Still sad about the evening rush hour traffic, uh well.

I worked through being essential, Hunband worked from home. That saved us 100$a week in his petrol, winning! I saved petrol as there was no other traffic on the roads. There was something quite eerie in the morning's being the only one out. I feel we were busier than we should have been, considering we were at level 4 lockdown. So much hair dye and hair removal creams were sold. That begs the question, define essential purchases
There is a couple of hohouses being built acacross the road from us anand the Saturday mornings were nice and quiet during lockdown.

We saved about $100 on gas per week plus an extra $20 per week in parking. However got swallowed up with extra stocking up the pantry bits and pieces to avoid supermarkets, dairies and gas stations.
"Essential" definitely has a different definition to each person. I bought hair dye but it was while I was af the supermarket not a special trip.
