Kezzie has put together a challenge with some questions about what people will do when all the restrictions are lifted and we can safely go about our lives again. I thought it would be a fun thing to ponder so here are my answers.
1. Restaurant you would go out to.
We usually go to a vegetarian/vegan restaurant called Tibits whenever I’ve had to go into the office in Germany. We haven’t been since the beginning of March and I’m actually starting to miss it! Or I might like to try a restaurant that we haven’t been to yet.
2. Friend you would meet up with first.
As I mentioned in this post, I don’t really see many friends at the best of times, but I had been planning to meet up with my friend who lives Karlsruhe and her boyfriend once the weather got warmer so hopefully we will get to do that before the summer is over!
3. Place you would go.
Realistically it will probably be Germany to work since I’ve now missed 3 of my regular trips there 😅. But if we’re talking fantasy answers I would love a weekend away somewhere. Maybe up a mountain somewhere in Switzerland.
4. Shop you would go to.
I don’t really do much shopping outside if supermarkets – Switzerland is too expensive! So it would probably just be the department store Manor to buy stickers (I use them on the envelopes when I send cards for Post Pals or letters to my pen pals). Or I would go to the bookshop, wistfully read all the synopses then leave without buying anything because they’re sooo expensive. I can honestly order a book from Waterstones in the UK and pay less for it including postage to Switzerland!
5. Food item you would buy/eat.
The only thing I haven’t been able to buy is yeast and since I planned to make hot cross buns with it I feel like that ship has sailed!
6. Cake you would eat.
If I want cake I can make it (as long as if doesn’t involve yeast!) but I do love the chocolate, pear and hazelnut cake from the restaurant at Papiermühle so I would have to say that.
7. Show you would/will go to see
We didn’t have any planned so I would have to see what’s on once events are allowed again. I’m hoping for another good comedian to come to Switzerland. Bill Bailey would be nice!
8. Concert you will go to watch.
Jan is still hoping a project he’s involved in will go ahead in October so most likely that.
9. Relative you will hug first.
My mum had been planning to come over in June so if we can rearrange that it will be her. But honestly I don’t even know when I will see any member of my family again. Flights probably won’t be going for a long time 😦
10. Holiday you would go on.
It would be great if we could rearrange the Poland trip we had to cancel. Or maybe I’ll take a trip to the UK and hug all my family!
11. Other activity you would take part in.
I had been planning to sign up for a beginner’s crochet course at the end of March so if that’s repeated when things open again it will most likely be that.
12. Thing you would do at work.
I am still working as normal and I already worked from home apart from on two days a month, so there’s no task that I need isolation to be over to be able to do. However, things were really slow this week so I am hoping our customers will get back to work so they can send us things to translate!
13. Item you would buy.
I don’t think there is anything I want/need that I couldn’t just order now. Maybe we will finally get round to buying balcony furniture?
That’s it. I really enjoyed thinking up these answers. Hopefully I will get to actually do some of them this year! If you want to answer them too I would love to see your answers and please also link to Kezzie’s post and stop by to say hi/let her know you’ve done it.

I hope you get to go on your trip to Poland, and I hear you when you say you want to hug your family. My lot are going to get such a hugging!
xx
I have no idea when there will be flights again but I hope I get to hug them sooner rather than later!
The think I’m missing most of all is swimming. I’ll be doing laps as soon as I can!
I hope you get to see your Mum, preferably in Poland.
There’s a bit of a yeast shortage here too. My sister bought some and sent it to me in the post but now they can’t get any more! Mmm, your Toblerone cake looks so tasty! I hope you get to see Jan’s concert!
Thanks for joining in!
GREAT idea for a post! So many restaurants I want to go to and people I want to see! My bff’s girlfriend hasn’t met M yet and they’ve had to cancel their flight to come meet her because of the virus. They’re scheduling it as soon as they can!
I played along too! Really enjoyed answering these questions. I hope you’re able to rearrange some of those trips and plans!
