    Will save a tonne of money on petrol.

    Don't have to sit next to annoying people all day

    Don't have to spend hours on M62 each week.

    More time with my cat!

    An extra hour in bed each day.

    Unlimited supply of music whilst I work.

    No more missed deliveries.

    Instantly home after a day's work.

    Imo everyone’s lives will change after this , life won’t be as how we normally carried on pre Covid.
    I think Govts will cherish health care and even in USA it will be Health Care for all .
    We won’t take things for granted and see the weekly shop as a drab mundane chore.
    It’ll be much similar on our attitudes as the war years and the aftermaths .
    It’s hard to think like that now but imo we havnt had the worst yet and don’t like being a doom monger but this will take its toll on our emotions for years to come.

    Only yesterday a delivery man chapped at my door and said I have a parcel here for number one.
    I said, wrong house mate this is number 3.

    Guide dogs school is closed so the dog we are boarding is now living full time with us for the foreseeable and the handler will collect her for a few hours each day for training. That makes us pretty happy.

    Edit: We’ve just been for a mucky free run, I think she is happy too.
