right. Hi. So how have you felt during coronavirus and the pandemic and the lockdowns? So if I've, like, a mixed feeling, because I like the lockdown at first because of my like, you know what I mean, But that as because it was on for a lot longer than people really expected it. OK, so it started getting a bit difficult, and obviously I was due to a foster place, and that was it

So I didn't really know the family that was living there, because before McDonald was always going out with my friends, so I never really got to know her, so that was quite difficult, but yeah. Yeah. So do you think it gave you an opportunity to really get to know them and, like, value what they're doing? Yeah, that's good

With, like, a I to at times, so Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was there any other kind of hobbies that you had more of a chance to do because you weren't like because you had to be inside? Not really. Yeah, that's all right

A lot of people did tiktok. A lot of people made a lot of money from it. Um what about any online learning

How did you find that? You didn't do it. So you didn't find it. Good, then? OK, How old are you? OK, right

Fair enough. Um, what about looking for work? You know, did you find any new TV shows anything that you really liked? I remember Tiger King came out in the first lockdown. Yeah, it's not

You need to watch it. That's good. Um, what about anything else? OK, did you see much of your friends during that? I know, but some people just kind of went out anyway, didn't they? Yeah

OK, Did you do Were you, like, on face time? A lot of things like that. Yeah. Did you, like, play any games over FaceTime or messenger game? So what type of ones did you get into, Like words with friends like words with friends

Did you play that one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about all the other games on there? And was there anything else any, like, new skills that you learned? Do you think Joe and that it doesn't have to be, like, technical or educational? It could be anything. Maybe you got a bit more savvy with your phone or well, like you could see the difference between my dad one before that

And then my dad now and I think because we had a long period of time in lockdown, I was able to like I'm like, I'm not no biggie. Biggie or, um yeah, I think I think it got a bit better, because if you work on, So what would you say about, like, your confidence in terms of not just dancing, but do you think you've got more confident as a person, or do you think you know? No. But do you think the tiktok that helps you with that, or Yeah

So from this from the beginning of the lockdown to now, I know you're not saying you're a confident person, but on a scale if not confidence here and confidence here, have you moved towards confident? You don't think so? Ok, that's all right. I'm trying to block things here. So we stopped

Yeah,.
