Antisocial Distancing
I don't really know how best to describe life at the moment; to say 'it's a bit shit' doesn't quite cut it. Being holed up for the best part of 23 hours a day is tortuous at times, but, it's better than the alternative. This somewhat crude image shows in rather bleak terms the worst case scenario if you play fast and loose with your personal space. And, of course, other people's. Wooah! Back off! Who would have thought that just a handful of weeks ago a simple walk to the shop is now every bit as nerve-racking as traversing a Falklands minefield. What price that tin of beans? So, be careful out there. One minute you're cock of the north, the next you're in an ICU ward plugged in to a Dyson ventilator. Honestly, you couldn't make it up.
Considering these are such grim times, I found your post amusing - it put a smile on my face. (Maybe I'm just hysterical . . .) The cartoon is perfect!
Stay safe, John - and keep listening to lots of tunes.
You're so right John, it is nerve-racking, every move requires forward-thinking. Itfeels as if we're all pieces in a massive game of chess. I can't even play chess.
It is, but I'll try and make this post the last time I talk about it. I don't know if you're an Archers listener, but Ambridge is a Coronavirus free zone; think I'll move there for a few weeks and take up residency in the Bull.
Yes I've seen that image doing the rounds but lots of people not adhering to it. Got to appreciate the little things at the moment (the natural world) and all our non-work related interests.
Stay safe and keep well - We're all saying it at the moment but I genuinely mean it.

ReplyDeleteStay safe, John - and keep listening to lots of tunes.
You too, Marie. Listening to tunes is virtually all that's keeping me sane.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you John (and you too Marie!). Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteAll good here, TS. Think I'll have me a quiet weekend for a change!

Fighting fit, Alyson. And that's how I intend to stay! (Probably hexed it right there!)
