of going to the supermarket and not self distancing. You never know how good something is until you can't have it!.
Thankful for:
Hubby said he would push the trolley for me - I just appreciated that so much!
Ventured to the supermarket for the first time this week have been doing online click and collect.. which is great though you miss out on the treats at the end of the rows
Good for John but glad you felt well enough to go with him! Since Harry stopped farming he has become a great shopper....his second hobby after grass cutting! Looks like New World perhaps, I think I recognise the badge although I don’t see the packer! Ah yes it’s on the trolley!
It must be wonderful to have no social distancing!! We also have to wear a mask in shops and supermarkets from next Friday 24th. I think it will be a long time before we have such relaxation here in the UK. Glad you are feeling better.
Plexiglass barriers at checkouts, face masks, and social distancing are still facts of life here. It is a treat, though, to go to a store even with short in-and-out visits.
Lovely shot. I always avoided going to the supermarket with Christine and that is one reason why we have two cars. Since lockdown and with her fracturing her wrist I have gone with her several times and must admit that I don't mind going.
Meanwhile we are used to the 'new normally': clean your hands before entering the supermarket, keep social distancing, less shopping trolleys, plexiglass barriers at checkouts...
Nice shot btw.
Wonderful shot, I like your processing too. We are in a world of trouble here, still self distancing, masks everywhere, many places closed. I’m glad your country is doing so well in these Covid days.
Like @casablanca I can't imagine going out in public without a mask -- feels so unsafe even when a country has the virus under control. So envious of your strong and smart policies that made this possible!
So fabulous to hear this may one day be possible again! Not for a while thousg Great shot of John and good to hear you are feeling up to the trip as well. First hand news from other countries is the most honest news we get!
funny how things change in the blink of an eye. Our world will never take things for granted again. At least I hope I won't. We have to wear masks in stores but at least they are now open.
Folks in our supermarkets are respectful but most are not too concerned about being close. If there's something they need and you're in the way, they'll say, "Excuse me" but not worry if you don't move right away. What I'm looking forward to is shopping without that mask! I'd do it now, but the store keepers would probably escort me out of the store!
@maggiemae I do mostly what's responsible and also what I know will make others comfortable, but truth be told, more people have survived this than have suffered and died. However, that is not being reported on the national media. Secondly, the masks are almost as unhealthy as being directly exposed. Think about you're breathing in mostly what you've exhaled which your body is naturally getting rid of. Not to mention the warmth of your breath also fosters bacteria growth. So why is that good for you?? Just my thoughts and I'm no "expert" even though most of the experts spouting off how we must live and endure this are tied into the companies that are now producing the masks, medications, etc. which supposedly prevent us from getting it. I avoid the mask if I can. It makes me sick plus I'm slightly claustrophobic when I have to wear it, so the sooner I get it off the better! Sorry- I didn't mean to spout off so much! I guess I'm just tired of it all. I'm glad you can go shopping like this and not have to worry.
i have the heavy groceries like canned goods delivered to me. veggies and fish i prefer to get myself and i go every two weeks. but yes, it's so liberating to be able to go out and do some of the things we used to take for granted. i'm dying to have a dine-in at my favourite restaurants, especially the vegetarian ones as those are not really good once delivered. i prefer to sit down to a nice freshly cooked meal. but we heed what the experts say. nice to see mr. cool! aces!
@maggiemae@olivetreeann Sorry Ann. I had to reply to your comment about masks not being safe. I was a surgical RN and worked in the operating room for 30 years. I wore a mask for 8 hours or more a day (the mask was changed in between patients) and my team members and I never got sick from wearing them. I guess it does take a while to get used to them if you're not used to it. Plus these over-the-counter masks do not fit as well as the ones used in the hospitals. Especially if you wear glasses.
