Lessons from lockdown
LOUISE TREWAVAS
WITH SO MUCH TIME being spent in our homes, it’s become fashionable to ask ourselves: what have I learned during the lockdown?
My answer would be: shockingly little. Though I have learnt the impressive extent of my selfdelusion. All those annoying little tasks I told myself that I would tackle “if only I had enough time” are still waiting to be done. For example:
Properly cleaning the gunk out of the bottom of my dive-crate rather than just whooshing a bit of fresh water round it. Then finding a home for (or binning) the O-rings, D-rings and miscellaneous micro-widgets that have formed a small community in the corners of the crate.
