“How much longer?”... “Would you go to the pub if it was open?”... “Should we meet up with friends if we are allowed to?”....
The conversations are starting to change now the lockdown is coming to the beginning of the end.
After all, other than leaving home for food, medicine, exercise or in some cases, work, we have been stuck indoors for weeks now and until we know more, we just have to work on the basis that we’re home for a bit longer.
The latest episode of Alone Together - A Coronavirus Podcast offers advice on how to fill that extra time spent at home with your families.
For those experimenting in the kitchen, Alone Together’s Morven McIntyre speaks to Edinburgh-based chef Barry Bryson about resourceful ways to shop for food – and how to rustle up a dish using staple cupboard supplies.
The lockdown also allows time for parents to bond with their children. Hazel Reynolds, founder of Gamely Games, suggests fun and creative ways to keep kids entertained away from their iPads and games consoles.
Reynolds, who appeared on BBC’s Dragon’s Den in 2018, discusses setting up virtual games nights with family and friends to keep connected whilst separated in the lockdown.
