I've just been on my first weekly food shop in almost three months. It felt weird, but at the same time so normal and good.
The Beloved has done an absolutely fantastic job with the weekly shop. He has queued and queued waiting 2m away from his fellow shoppers, just to get into building. He has done this with almost no complaint. (He's not quite a saint.)
Going shopping, selecting the foods on the shopping list, plus a few extras (watermelon, sugarsnap peas and baby corn) was good.
Tomorrow, social distancing rules will be dropped. All of the tape on the floors in shops will be able to be removed. We will be able to eat in restaurants and cafés. We will be able to get back to "Shut Up and Write!". If we were to hold quilting in a café we could return to quilting too.
Slowly, surely, life is being resumed. It feels very good.
