I was a bit later this morning - only by 30 minutes though. More uncovered faces, but probably still only 1 in 10. What I do see at that time is people doing things like building work etc. who are going to start at 8:00. They often arrive in groups of 2 or 3 and often didn't bother with masks when it was compulsory. I suppose there's peer pressure as well. He May Be Your Dog But He's Wearing My Collar

The ones who are still wearing a mask, but with their nose sticking out or something, they boggle my mind a bit. Like, if you really don't want to, it's OK, Freedom Day has come! This weird non-useful half measure presumably makes you look a bit of a dickhead to 'both sides' of the mask wearing debate.

Ah! Hah hah... yes! The ones like the granny I saw today, pushing her trolley with a couple of grand-kids in tow, wearing her mask on her chin like a sort of good-luck token or religious indulgence. There's a Tesco superstore bod, who always wore his mask like that, although now he is maskless - so I guess the management aren't insisting that staff wear them.

Things are slowly changing, up here. We had the highest figures in the country for a few days but they have come down, since schools broke up. Sure enough, I did a big shop in M&S, this morning, and ended up telling the woman behind me that she was welcome to pay for my shopping, since she was standing right in front of the card reader so I couldn't reach it. I haven't missed that one single bit.

Long time etc. Yve. How's things? How's the Wibblys little and large (although I suppose the gap has closed by now)? He May Be Your Dog But He's Wearing My Collar

They're large and extra large, these days. I'm just the small insignificant woman who pushes food towards them at regular intervals.
