Well for me that is far better than the highlight being a trip to a dirty sweaty pub to watch two alcho's slobber all over each other before smashing a couple of pool ques over each other's head.
But I appreciate that's just me and many people prefer the latter
It depends. Pubs aren’t really for me either, however I socialise at work and have been able to continue to do so (in a socially distanced way for the most part) there right through this. Socialising isn’t just about discussing the new pair of shoes the neighbour’s daughter has just bought, but about exposure to different views, opinions and ideas. Likewise for me going and about is largely about pursuing my interests and hobbies, rather than an inane trip to a beach, and I have enough of that to keep me going for pretty much a lifetime subject to having the time to be able to do it. Most of the people I associate with, and it seems the same can be said for many or most people on this forum.
By contrast what I see when out and about can be quite disturbing. Like today a young woman in a field walking round and round an old bale of hay. Perceived boredom is the first step towards mental health issues. It’s not healthy for people to be living like this, no matter how much they may think not having to go to work is a good thing.
