NOT dealing with captivity

Currently in Rhodes. I live on my boat. I have no other address anymore.

 

Nudge, make sure you keep doing, every day, something you genuinely like doing. Grab your binoculars, go for a walk and look at some wildlife. As for the rest of your time... TV doesn't work for me. There could be a million brilliant boxsets on Netflix, but that just means there are a million I'm never going to watch. I can't sit still during a TV show. I find the experience uncomfortable. From the way you've described yourself, you could be the same. I could be completely wrong but that's what it sounds like. What have you always fancied yourself as? A musician, a photographer, a ballet dancer, a footballer, a painter, a porn star... Whatever it is, you've now got time to realise it. Buy a guitar, or buy a camera and some photo editing software, or buy some ballet shoes, or buy a football, or buy some brushes, some paints and some canvas, or buy a video camera... Whatever you want to be there are thousands upon thousands of instructional videos on the net teaching you how to be that thing. Watching TV is passive, but learning to do something is active and it swallows your time and you'll find yourself doing it until the early hours of the morning, not wanting to go to bed, and getting up the next day straight into it, and that doesn't matter whether it's high brow, writing poetry in iambic pentameter, or populist, baking the perfect cake, or left field, wearing rubber and masturbating on the net for American girls who have a thing for six foot six English dudes, it's your thing and it's worthwhile.

 

Good advice Jay and i can deffo see nudge kitted out as a ballet dancer doing swan lake rand worsbro res.

im still working full time and pretty busy as my work is linked to primary care. If i have an internet connection and laptop i can work anywhere. in a way envious of you guys with all this free time to slow down especially im this great weather but im glad to have a secure income (i hope it remains so anyway). others are crying out to get back to work. Well there are tons of jobs you can do online. Checkout fiverr or similar to cure the boredom and earn a few quid.

whatever peoples situation we should emerge from this more appreciative of life and not take everything for granted. I hope people dont fly back in materialism and go back to just how they were - but alas most will.

I think the earth will be doing some healing as well while all this is happening. All good. Just a shame it takes something like this to wake everyone up to what really matters.

 

Like you I'm still working. I work indirectly but exclusively with looked after children, children in care. The situation is beyond frightening. But it keeps me sane. And I give everything I've got to it. I've just had four days off and I'd struggle hugely if I had to remain at home beyond today. Well, I wouldn't, I'd become a drug addict and an alcoholic. Let me rephrase that, I'd become more of a drug addict and alcoholic than I already am. Isolation is a huge deal, and I wish everyone who is in that situation all the very best. Try to keep active.

 

Excellent post mate, you've summed up a lot of my feelings there.

 

Tell me more about these American girls....

 

Are you allowed to sail your boat? Could you take it out for a spin for a few hours (or even longer) for a change or scene? - even if you have to moor offshore overnight, the routine of sailing might help your state of mind.

 

No, all recreational boat movement has been stopped. I have been rowing my dinghy inside the marina for exercise though.

 

don't you have a garden Nudge ?
