We are still shopping by "click and collect". I can see that carrying on while we do not need fresh vegetables - the allotment provides more than we need. We give away a lot of stuff to friends.

We have had more friends visit. It is easier to manage in your own home than going to the pub. We make sure there are clean towels for guest who use the bathroom; they do not have to use the same ones as we use.People are adjusting to socialising while keeping a distance and not touching anything (door handles / etc) or anyone. It's sad how normal it seems.

I sprained my ankle before then Bank Holiday weekend. The long walk we planned was postponed, and we tidied the garage instead. We also made a bird feeder out of old tin cans and scraps of wood (from the garage clear-out). I think we are rather proud of it!

The weather has turned cooler. This will slow down things on the allotment.

I saw the book "Plague Nation" on offer, so I had to buy it! It's quite a good read describing the efforts of people to survive and rebuild society in the wake of a devastating plague. It's a similar situation to that described by Stephen King in The Stand.
