One walk (or some other form of exercise) a day, essential trips to shops or pharmacist and work, if it can't be done at home. And that's it. There's a chance that things will tighten up later (with no exercise allowed outside the house), but otherwise it's unlikely anything will change in the next month. Or two.
It's obviously necessary from a public health point of view, but quite frustrating. Most of us like to see friends, go for meals, see a film, do a creative writing class...
Although none of these are possible at the moment, this is a golden opportunity. A chance to focus and work on our own writing.
From now on we'll be posting some on-line activities for people to try. They are in the LOCKDOWN ACTIVITIES section. Have a look, try one or two. Get writing in the lockdown.
