I went to see a couple of rugby matches pre-lockdown and really enjoyed seeing live sport for the first time in ages. I was thinking it was going to be the start of a renewed interest/hobby.

That's a shame McG 
I got a bike – a Brompton – through our Cycle to Work scheme, which I picked up just over a week before the lockdown, and had ridden once. I didn’t learn to cycle as a kid, so only learned how to cycle towards the end of last year, and am still not massively confident – I’ve only cycled in one of the local parks, find even that a bit nerve wracking when there’s too many people around. I had planned to practise over the spring and summer to try to get better and increase my confidence, but I’ve just been either running or walking each day as I don’t feel I can use my exercise allowance on something I’m not very good at, especially as I live in the city centre so would have to cycle on busy roads in order to get to anywhere that may be quieter to practice.

Still the pub. I am worried about my local

A meal out
Unpressured shopping (I’m no leisure shopper, but even something as simple as nipping into a grocery shop “just because” would be nice)
Parkrun
Pub lunch with my team
A half marathon start line with thousands of people

To be clear, personally I’m having “a good lockdown”. Circumstances are good, my family are together and comfortable, while the weather is great there’s lots for me to do. I more worry about other people’s situation than my own.
But those things above and many others would be so nice!
