Lockdown life in England 英格蘭封城的日子

Ever since UK started lockdown two weeks ago on 5th November, I’ve been posting updates on my Facebook page   every day. Yes, I still use it, as it’s a way to keep my friends, families and fans (yes, I’ve raked in a few, if not many over the years) on what I’m up to. Here’s a summary of my lockdown life over the first two weeks, for anyone who’s interested….

自從英格蘭11月5日封城，我每天都在臉書專頁上分享生活小點滴。今天在這裡來個兩星期重溫。

Lockdown Life 2.1

Good morning

Lockdown 2.2

收到朋友從台灣寄來
Made in Taiwan 愛心口罩
記得2月初台灣已爆發肺炎
當時鬧口罩慌要配額限售
我這個旅居者當然買不到
幸有幾位當地朋友雪中送炭
這就是其中一位
台灣控制肺炎成績有目共睹
看來英國也應借鏡

Received a box of Made in Taiwan masks from a friend in Taiwan
Covid had already blown up in Taiwan back in February
Masks had to be rationed and of course I couldn’t get my hands on any
A few local friends gave me some despite being short themselves
This is one of those friends
Taiwan’s effort and result in containing Covid is one of the, if not the best in the world
UK has a lot it can look learn from them

Lockdown 2.3

已經很久沒做國英式甜點Trifle
不錯不錯
不過其實很容易做?

It’s been ages since I made trifle
Not bad not bad
But then, it’s so easy to make ?

Lockdown 2.4

English big breakfast on a Sunday washed down with a proper cuppa
星期日來個英式 big breakfast 再加杯奶茶

Lockdown 2.5

自從疫情開始，這條街已封了一半，方便行人社交距離。這次封城，改了用大花盆， 彷如大大聲在喊 “我們封城了! “

Since Covid started half of this street was cordoned off for social distancing. During this lockdown, big planters have been placed as if shouting out loud “We’re in lockdown! “

Lockdown 2.6

The days are becoming shorter
白天越來越短

Lockdown 2.7

人要靜下來
才會看到平常沒留意的東西

When you’re at inner peace
You’ll see things you don’t normally notice
