Having to queue outside supermarkets/doctors/chemists was such fun

The silence was good, I had other things happening and was slightly less of a headless chicken.
I fucking hated the clapping.

What are those with health conditions doing now?
Covid isn't mentioned hardly at all now. It's carry on as normal even go to work if able
It's good to see you back under another new name but back the same.
The reports of your demise were greatly exaggerated. Clever trick getting your wife involved in the con though

When you're out and about in the open air what PPE would they expect you to be wearing?
Wearing gloves possibly but a mask would be pointless especially if your van is liveried as they'd know you're a postie.
As for the clapping, most of my neighbours supported the NHS by clapping then went straight back to the house parties they were enjoying.

We ended up getting masks, gloves and hand gel (which is great to wash your hands with after an open air piddle) and we still have them available after I brought the matter up with the powers that be and it's helping to cut down on regular sickness, one good thing about the pandemic is that (most) people have learned that wearing a mask stops you spreading airborne viruses and wearing nitrile gloves is good when you've got a leaky box of god knows what.
I was living on a mad busy main road at the time and the clapping in the eerie silence usually filled by arctics, tractors and double-decker buses really freaked me out, especially after spending the day in some dystopian Stepford universe. Trippy as fuck
