Has to be family. Occasionally dropping a few bits and bobs at mum and dads door isn't quite the same.
The rest I can deal with but as Toad has hinted at its more what my 13 year old and 11 year old are missing out on. Their social interaction with mates and clubs. their schooling will clearly suffer also. I can put up with most things and to be honest while I miss my golf I'm not climbing the walls as I can always find something to fart about with.

Family. My Mum and brother live in Cheshire, my Children live south of London. We can Skype which is good but I get to see them too infrequently as it is. This is just lengthening the gap.
And the banter, and meeting my playing mates before the golf. I enjoy the golf but we tend to sit down for an hour or two just chatting, laughing and joking before the game. I miss that.

Remembering what day of the week it is.
Going to work and being able to fall asleep easily at night because I'm tired and 4:20 will come round pretty quick.

Miss playing football with the lads. Miss being able to go for a few pints, not least the two long weekends on the booze that I've had cancelled. I miss playing badminton as well, we'd really got into that just this year and had a few friends involved as well. We played a bit in the garden yesterday but it's not really the same.
Also I kind of miss getting time to myself - I know that sounds backwards when everyone's stuck indoors, but me and the wife usually like to have our own time a few days a week, where she'll go out and about, I'll do what I want to do, and we'd just make sure we still have a few nights a week in together. But now the balance is off. I can't have an hour to myself on the weekend without her nagging me about something that she reckons needs doing.
Mostly I miss having something to look forward to. Just anything, no matter how small. I used to look forward to the weekend because I'd have golf, football, seeing mates, now there's nothing. All the days just blur into one and there's nothing even worth getting out of bed for. On Saturday just gone I stayed in bed until 1pm because I figured what's the point of getting up?

I'm like Orikoru......well apart from staying in bed. I am missing looking forward to the weekend. Although I can practice chipping in a fairly large garden, I haven't the interest to do more than five minutes.
My other sport is motor cycle trials, and there's usually an event on every two or three weeks. So in addition to golf practice, there was always work to do on the bike. Now, life seems so empty......... but on a brighter note, I work from home, and the office has never looked so clean, my playhouse/coal house has been been carefully revarnished, and the vegetable patch is taking shape.
Fortunately Mrs Yorkshire Hacker and I get on really well, and I'm not aware of any fall out yet. I've been pretty poorly these last three weeks. Whether it was the Covid-19, who knows......can't get tested.
This is REALLY difficult for all of us, and the only advice has surely been covered already........keep yourselves occupied!

My grandsons... In particular the eldest who lives the furthest away in Kent... We had a visit, from him, just before lockdown kicked in... When we returned him home as we had our farewell 'manhug' I had the overwhelming feeling it could be the last... My old Mum said that's how she would feel when we left her, after a visit, towards the end... Really been struggling with getting that thought out of my head...

April golf isn't great in my area anyway.
I'll really miss golf next month.
But I do miss going to the club. It's my favorite place to hang out all year long, and I'm going stir crazy sequestered at home.

??? We we’re both pissed up at the time of him asking, I think he’s regretted it since!,
Wine with friends after bowling. We bowl 3 times a week + comps. A game kicks off about 10:30 and finishes about 12:30-1:00. We usually leave the club about half 2-3:00. Banter and wine.

As always, it’s the little things that resonate. Popping into my Mam and Dad’s or going for our weekly family meal round theirs. Taking my daughter to all of her activities/clubs. Going for a few jars. Having a weekend treat of a meal out or even a takeaway. Driving anywhere other than Tesco. Going to the match/watching sport on tv. Pottering about.
I’ve realised there is a massive difference between doing nothing in particular and doing nothing.

Really missing my morning coffee. Been getting it from the same outlet (currently closed) and the same lady for nearly 13 years. Miss having a good laugh and a natter first thing. Simple pleasure but sets me off to the unit with a smile
