How's your weather today. It's bright and sunny here on the south coast today and feels like a cheery start to the week. Let's hope it'll continue in that way.
What do you think about the relaxation of shopping rules from today? I was astounded to see a news item this morning about the queues outside some shops. I can understand how desperate people are for a bit of increased freedom, but I don't really see it as a freedom to have to queue for hours to buy non-essential items. And I don't know about you, but for me, shopping's a social event, usually with friends or family, time to browse and enjoy coffee or a lunch out. So this really isn't for me as yet. But for those who must, I hope it does the trick.
Last week I did go out, however, for something more than just a quick walk around the neighbourhood once or twice, and it was lovely. I hope I can build on that a bit now and at least venture out a couple of times this week.
Do share with us, if you've been able to relax the rules yourself too. Did anyone manage to create a 'bubble' and meet up with with family members after a long time alone?
Take care and I hope the coming week will be a good one for you.🙏
We’re also on the south coast Callendersgal so yes it’s a nice start to the day and week hopefully.
I was horrified at the queues outside stores, many not abiding by 2m social distancing rules. Pete and I won’t be going anywhere for sometime as it’s not the fun experience it used to be. We’ll see how things progress.
Hi sassy59, I'm a little bit concerned by the pressure being put on government to reduce that 2 metre rule too. I hope they only bow to it if evidence based by scientists that it's safe to do so. Anyway, have a great day! xxxx🔆🔆🔆
I know what you mean. One of my favourite outings is a pub lunch. If the weather stays kind it might be possible as we have quite a lot of country pubs a shortish drive away with big gardens, so eating out might literally be the way to go! I miss the sociability of having a coffee out too, and I can't see me going shopping until I can get my coffee and bun fix either. I have a feeling we will end up with a reduced 'safe' distance, purely on economic grounds, but I wish the government would at least wait until we see what happens in countries which already have a 1 or 1.5 metre rule. Meantime it's 'if in doubt, don't' as far as I'm concerned. Hope both of you are OK and remaining safe yourselves. 🙏😊🔆
Its a bit of a mixed bag here in the "Northern Hemisphere" of the UK (in Manchester) it ws sunny & warm -then it started to rain Im told tht someone went into Manchester city centre & it rined hard & there was thunder & lightning
Hi Sara_2611, sorry it wasn't so bright for you yesterday further north. I think there might be more unsettled weather on its way now though, so that could even up the score! 🌤😊
