Garden revamped, daily walks (an hour during extreme lockdown but normally 3 hours), read loads more books and watched more classic films than normal, started to bake my own bread, seen most of the schedule-filler repeat documentaries (especially BBC4 art and science) that I missed when they first came out.

But the negatives outweigh the positives. Not seen my 89 year old mother in person for 7 months, postponed our civil partnership twice, getting too concerned with every shadow, crack and creak in the house (but proved right when the boiler packed up!) and missing friends and live events.

I am also among the 3% of the great British public who know what '2 metres' means, and have perfected my death stare for the other 97%!
