In Portugal we went into Lockdown from February until June. We have been very lucky though in many ways though - although no bars have been allowed DJs all year the government here have offered full unemployment benefit until March 2021 to those unable to work so there hasn't been the worry and the angst that so many people have had. Also, another positive is that we have been able to meet up with friends who we normally only see in the winter (off) season and have spent time getting to know each other more and help each other. Usually, during the summer season we are all working in our own bars, so that's been a great help in getting us through the year.2. I just cannot wait to start work again, I've missed the music, the people, the atmosphere. Also, next winter I can't wait to get over to see my family in the UK. My mum and dad are in their late 70's early 80's so I wouldn't dream of seeing them until it is 100% safe.3. I certainly think I'll be thankful every time I can hug someone. I'm quite a tactile person so I've missed that hugely. But I think it will always have a lasting impact on us for so many different reasons, just being able to kind of be normal again will be so rewarding.</blockquote>
