Furlough shame

I have to say, the litter picking is not actually absurd. I am furloughed and live opposite a park in a less-green area than your country side location. I need to keep some routine, so get up at normal time to go to work and did get a grabber stick and do a litter pick in the park in the time that I would normally be stuck on the motorway to work. I now changed routine so alternative days litter pick or run the other days.
Hope you get things worked out - as you say, the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched back on.
I am actually enjoying the quieter life more than I imagined.0 -

Thanks Jeremy. I simply pick up the cans, bottles, crisp packets and take away wrapping and put in the bin in the park where it should have gone anyway. In my charitable mind, I am sure it was placed in the bin and just dragged out by the squirrels playing 🤔1
