The Anonymous Widower

This Is My Second Lockdown

I can’t be the only person, but in the 1970s, I has locked myself away for nearly a year before. I did it to write the first version of the Project Management software; Artemis.

There are some differences between my situation then and my situation now.

• My wife was alive then and we saw each other for perhaps two days a week.
• I could drive and I occasionally went down the Clopton Crown for the odd pint and meal!
• I hadn’t been diagnosed as a coeliac, as that happened in 1997.
• There was no Internet or social media.
• There was no Radio 5 Live.
• I am a better cook now, than I was then.
• I am within walking distance of a Marks and Spencer Simply Food store.

I think the rules for surviving are as follows.

• Eat and drink enough.
• Have entertaining radio or television on.
• Break the day up with a bit of exercise.
• Get a good night’s sleep.
• Arrange good weather.

Let’s hope this lockdown turns out as well as the last.
