Lynn101 Apr 2020 5:03pm, 11 Apr 2020 10 posts	0 Lynn101 I miss swimming. I'm in my forties but I'd just learnt. I miss practicing the swimming. I was training for my first triathlon and everything had centred around that. I also really miss human touch and when we get out of this I'd really like a hug.
FRU (KeepTheFaith) Apr 2020 5:11pm, 11 Apr 2020 12,550 posts	0 FRU (KeepTheFaith) From today I suddenly feel guilty for going out. As I am a slow runner all my runs take ages.. I am trying to be mindful I miss not guilty running And I miss my stand up desk, might have to go and get it next week as I have terrible shoulder and typing arm ache
Surrey Phil Apr 2020 6:26pm, 11 Apr 2020 3,571 posts	0 Surrey Phil Being able to socialise with friends, visit family and (like Lynn, above) being able to hug or touch someone other than those I live with. I feel depressed when I do go out and get treated like I have the plague with everyone giving me an extra-wide berth or crossing the road. I fully understand the reason but this virus makes us anti-social and inhumane. Yet, neighbours and ourselves have been able to really support those who have had to self-isolate which has enabled us to show love for others where we would not ordinarily do so.

I miss the people who I used to see swimming every morning that I went. I only used to say hello but it will be nice to see them all again when this is over I miss getting my daily white Americano before work every morning and the 10% of time the milk was missing because the baristas are a bit shit
