Morning!
i had intended going shopping on Thursday morning, but could really face it. I went to a local farm shop, weren’t even sure they would be open. They were, so able to buy frozen meals for one ( so often they are for two, I don’t mind having the same meal two days following, but it’s another fiddle! ) The car park is right in front of the door, so that’s OK. There was somewhere outside but under cover to wash your hands. I met a friend I hadn’t seen for ages. All in all, a good experience.
Next day I managed to get going to my local supermarket. The queue, at 07:55, was around the car park and on the approach road. I parked, BB so near the door, gate crashed the queue, well, they did make room for me! Then went into the shop. I was amazed to see that the toilets were blocked off! Is this legal, or something to do with Coronavirus? It is two separate loos, kitted out for people with disabilities, leading from an entrance lobby easily big enough for two people to stand 2 m apart. I queried this, but was told that was what they had to do! For people like me ( in case you are new, I had a kidney removed last year, and the bladder is still recovering from the shock! But much better that pre-op.) When you feel you want to go, you have to go!
This doesn’t seem right!
I was also told that the quietest time is between 11:00 and 13:00, previously the busiest time.
Maybe I’ll try that next week.
Only my next door neighbour has asked me if I want any shopping. That’s not the neighbour with whom Ive had coffee every week for the last umpteen years, who, post-op, doesn’t speak to me, but the other one with whom I’ve barely spoken to since he’s been here.
Tis a funny old world!
