And so, a new phase begins

Well, isn’t it exciting to think that I can rush out of the house and go into ANY NON-ESSENTIAL SHOP I like and start buying away to my hearts content?

Actually, I don’t think it will make any difference to me, but it’s nice to know things are still moving along as planned, and that the re-opening of schools last month didn’t lead to an avalanche of new cases and a re-think of the ‘Life After Lockdown’ plan (or whatever it’s called).

I’m actually looking forward to having people bore me to death with tales of things they’ve bought and ‘guess who I saw in the pub last night?’ because it will make a welcome change from hearing people’s views on viruses and vaccines, and hearing them compare notes on which ITV drama is better than which Netflix documentary, and whether Disney+ is a sound long-term expense, or only worth paying for a month while you watch ‘WandaVision’.

I think I’ve been making the best of it while we’ve been in Lockdown Hell, but now it looks like it’s ending, I’m realising just how bored I’ve been at times and how much I’ve missed hearing mundane mutterings from people who have social lives, not social distancing.

And here I am wittering on about the bloody CorongaVirus when we’re all trying to move on with our lives and move on from it. I apologise, and I promise not to mention it tomorrow.
