With everyone talking about Christmas being cancelled and the rise of Covid cases this last week, I have to admit, I fear a second lockdown coming, or at least, some sort of “mini-lockdown”.

With Tesco Leith confirming a positive case from a worker, it’s no wonder people are panicking again. Such a busy store at the hub of Leith means there will be so many who are worrying if they have come in to contact with the virus.

The numbers are rising again and it’s all getting very close to home. But trust me, if we all thought locking down during the beautiful warm spring/summer days was hard work, just wait until the winter is finally here. I’ve just seen someone walk past my window with a snood on!

The full autumn/winter gear has been dug out the back of the drawer and I see everyone around me preparing for the colder months.

So if we do go to another lockdown then I reckon there will only be one thing for it. Get cosy, stock up on the hot chocolate and Horlicks (online of course), dust off the woollen blankets and possibly re-watch Game of Thrones (below), from the start! If we do have a second lockdown in the winter months, it’s going to be a long one, so hunker down.

On the bright side, most of us have gained a few pounds so we’ve got the extra padding to hibernate.
