Lockdown in England Part 2 英格蘭封城的日子

avatar
(Edited)

England has finally finished our near month long lockdown today.
However, for me, it just means jumping from a national lockdown to Tier 3 lockdown which is the most stringent level in England. All the shops will be open now, but not restaurants, and up to 6 people can meet but only at outdoor public places. That's not much improvement for me as I can't really see my family because it's too cold to sit outdoors for too long. Hopefully, things will improve when the government reviews the situation in two weeks time.

Following from my previous post about the first two weeks of my lockdown life, here's what I've been up to for the last two weeks.

英格蘭經過近一個月封城,今天解封了。但對我來講,只是從全國封城,跳到第三級,也是最嚴謹的封鎖。所有零售店鋪可以開門,但餐廳就不可以。限聚領不能超過6人,而且只能在公眾戶外地方而。這樣我還是不能與家人聚會,因為天氣實在太冷,不會在戶外逗留太久。希望兩個禮拜後,政府再評估情況時,可以有改善。

上次分享過我封城頭兩個禮拜的生活,現在分享剛過去兩個多禮拜的日子。

Lockdown 2.17

This may be the second lockdown
But I've been in UK lockdown for 9 months 🤪
A month a bottle of diffuser helps to keep me calm
雖然是第二次封城
但回英國已滯留了9個月🤪
一個月一瓶香噴噴有助調適心情

Lockdown 2.18

無聊在家這個很不錯
時間過得很快
Perfect when you're stuck at home
Time pasts quite fast

Lockdown 2.19 / - 9

由 - 9 開始數好像比較正面
很快就可以看到曙光
但還有一段漫長路才能走出這個困境
I think -9 countdown sounds a lot more positive
We're getting nearer to the end of this tunnel
Still a lot of work needed to get out of the woods


Lockdown 2.20 / - 8

What else does one do during lockdown apart from eat?
除了吃,封城還可以做甚麼?

Lockdown 2.19 / -7

今天可能是最充實的一天😊
家中有維修工程
看搭棚架師傅從地面
很快建到屋頂
又長知識
Today must be the most eventful day 😊
We have some maintenance work at home
Been watching the scaffolders
Build from ground up to rooftop
Interesting

Lockdown 2.20 / -6

Countdown day 6 till end of lockdown
Then it's Tier 3 the highest level
Perhaps I'll start to grow cobwebs as well
倒數第六天就解封
之後開始第三級限制
看來我人也快長蜘蛛網了

Lockdown 2.21 / -5

It really is a bit chilly today
The sun was out, plus a hot drink
Feels so nice sitting outdoors
今天真是有點冷
太陽出來了 加杯熱飲料
坐在戶外很舒服

Lockdown 2.22/ -4

今年英國郵局出聖誕郵票
越來越感覺到聖誕節就到
This year's Christmas stamps from Royal Mail
I can feel Christmas is getting near

Lockdown 2.23 / -3

Your favourite is...
你最愛是....


Lockdown 2.24 / -2

Monday is laundry day
星期一洗衣天


Lockdown 2.25 / -1

Holding the key to my own prison
自己拿著鑰匙的監獄

Great ending.

My trade required scaffold built for us regularly. I'm still impressed when I see some of the scaffold work around. Out of all the different trades on job sites, it was those scaffold builders who did their job very well and in the toughest places.

These goodies are the only reason i don't mind being stuck in England. Pigging myself put all the time.

I've never bought PHQ cards before, you collect them? I bought this pack as I'm doing a Christmas give away on my YouTube channel, which I may extend to Hive. Would you like one? I would love to send you a card if you like. It's always a pleasure to share at Christmas. 🎄🎅

So sad to see this still going on at least you hold the key to your own prison allowing you to get out and breath some cool cold fresh air. Stay strong and be safe 😊

Thanks! We certainly get lots of cool cold fresh air here. How ate things in your neck of the woods?

Is that a scotch egg there? How very British. My sister in law is in Tier 2 - all her friends are in Tier 3. May it all be over soon!
