I’m under instructions to exercise more. So today, in addition to my 5 mile night walk. I managed a 20 minute breakfast walk and a 2 mile lunch walk.
The problem with the lunch walk is that it took me past my favourite coffee shop. It is hard enough walking past the chip shop at night – but how can you walk past Mecycle? I had to go for my doppio. But my contactless card wouldn’t work – and then I realised you need to use a pin the first time you use it. I hadn’t used my contactless card since I got it.
As we move back to normal it will be interesting. The first people to get back to the entertainment areas are going to be the most confident. The less confident will take longer – but as a result the venues are likely to be much busier making it harder for them to build up the courage to get back to normal.
Maybe part of getting back to normal together is to take it easy. But I doubt that will happen, personal pleasure is likely to be too important to some.
