COVID-19 What are the small things you miss?

I’ve been in lockdown on my own for over a year. I really miss face to face company and most of all HUGS. I’m a tactile person and it still feels very alien not being able to do it ☹️
 
I miss browsing in shops like hobby craft for hours on end. I also miss watching ballets in the theatre, performing concerts in my Orchestra, going up to Lancashire and having chips and gravy! They just don't do chips and gravy properly down here. It's all curry sauce and salt and vinegar. No thank you. :td:XD
 
I mostly miss travelling on my day off. I’m use to travelling up to see my family in Manchester and I’m missing that too.
I also miss hugging friends and meeting up to mooch in shops.

I was talking to a friend today about the things we miss since Covid.
Obviously the big stuff like friends, family, travel etc. are the most obvious, but then we got onto the topic of the little things which we never gave much through to.

For me it is swimming.
Honestly I never swam on a regular basis (since high school), but I never realised how much I enjoyed just being able to go to the pool when I feel a bit stressed.
Even when pools reopen I don't feel they are super safe, so I am crossing my fingers for a decent Summer so I can swim at the lake.

I miss lots of things, but at this moment I miss being with my friends the most. I also miss being able to go to the library and have that quiet space to work, read, and learn.

I really miss swimming too! I love swimming and used to go a few times every week! Although I could’ve gone back for a few months last year, I just didn’t feel it would be safe enough. Maybe later this year! xx
 
As far as little things go I have missed live crowds at sporting events, concerts, conventions. Luckily venues are selling tickets and opening back up more and more. But when everything was virtual, forget about it.
 
I honestly miss nothing apart from seeing close family . Nothing atall , aslong as I have my wife and animals here with me I'm fine . That's all I need. I hate the fast pace of the world .

I miss orchestra rehearsals and concerts (I play the violin; hubby plays French horn). Hopefully September will be more normal.

Ooh! I play the french horn and I LOVE it.
 
I want to go to Tahiti

And later Israel or somewhere in the middle east

That means traveling by plane for sure.
