Glad you had less pain Dove, and Josusa, keep it up,I have never suffered from depression, and the first 2 weeks I found unbearable, in the evenings I couldnt even sit still I paced about feeling very weird and twitchy. Hubby at home also weird, then I read some mental health help stuff, thought right pretty much my normal routine, then, and thats what I have been doing, apart from the obvious, weekly coffee with friend, and having the grandkids school holidays. My youngest daughter who is normaly really busy, absolutely loved the first 2 weeks, not rushing to get ready for work, kids for school, packed lunches, I was very surprised bcause I thought she would hate it. Then the school, work, shes a software expert so very on the ball, 8 year old grandson had to do coding, and binary, she was stumped, annoyed because she had to buy a printer to do the school work, before that, one morning she had to draw graph paper with 100 squares! By the "Easter Holiday" she was ready to comit murder! The kids have been fine about it, doing their school work, going out in the garden for lunch. She was very worried about my grandson, he has asthma,alergies and croup, and every single attack hes in Hospital.
Our local recycling centres are opening on Wednesday. I think I will wait a couple of weeks, at least, before I take my stuff.
Ours are reopening this week too, but you need to make an appointment on line to get in. As there is a long road down to the tip I can see chaos ahead. Many either won't bother trying to get an appointment or will turn up after failing to get one. There is no way separate lines of traffic can be formed for those with and without appointments so solid traffic is inevitable.
I'm sure if garden centres / nurseries can put up barriers/ one way systems , as supermarkets have done, I can't see why they wouldn't do that
Hopefully they can work out a system. The main problem I foresee at our best local garden centre is inside the building. Unlike supermarkets, they don't have wide aisles in most areas.

Haven't looked up how ours will work yet. It's entrance is off a main A road.....duel carriage way.......and has a long single queue to get to a line of skips on one side. I do know that we will have to take our permits or proof of address with us and, as far as possible, they want only one occupant per car.
After a couple of weeks, of click and collect Hilliers, near us, and one whcih is more of a posh nursery, than a garden centre, no scented candles,fleeces, or cafe, its on the A22 main road, London to the coast, a so and so, to get back out onto the road, turning left.Opened at 8am today, doesnt usually open that early, thought I would let the dust settle, think it will be so busy.

Now there's a surprise.
