I don't know about you, but the weekends are actually the hardest bit of lockdown. B.L. (Before Lockdown) I would have been busy on Saturdays, taking my teenager to her activities, doing my own, going to CrossFit Mallorca in Son Bugadelles, doing some work, going to the supermarket, and then rolling back home in the evening with a bag of everything and a bottle of wine or two. Sundays would have been more mum taxi duties, a decent dog walk with my furry friends, Sunday lunch somewhere then back home to watch a movie with my family. Simple things which made us all very happy. We aren’t big on shopping for clothes or gadgets, we just like being outside and enjoying the island we live on. So it was pretty tough to hear that kids fourteen and over were not included in the government’s plans for the allowed one hour walk a day. Yes they can do the “permitted activities” as adults can now, but that’s really limited and still riddled with uncertainties and open to many interpretations. I just don’t want to deal with the stress. I wasn’t on my own either as many emotions spilled out over the weekend, frustration from the adults who don’t own a dog who still can’t go out for a walk, confusion from others, anger, tears, envy. These were all very much in evidence on social media. Thankfully not in the group www.facebook.com/groups/MajorcaMallorca where we encourage positive and helpful posts, but plenty of it in other places. Sometimes the best thing to do is just switch it off and go and do something else. Which is what I did.
