Covid restrictions likely to be lifted on July 19 in England

I suppose you could say.  if I’ve not caught it in the last 18 months then just do what you’ve been doing and you should be OK.

However if you wear glasses and have hearing aids then a mask is a pain, or rather taking it off is.

You could overcome that in a supermarket queue by having your trolley behind you rather than in front I suppose.

   I am glad to find I am not the only person not at ease with hugging! I am also happy not to have to wander round shaking hands in church during "the peace".
   I shall probably carry on wearing a mask in some places, and managing without my glasses. I have been muttering about getting a spectacle chain, but I haven't been near anywhere that sells them!

Strange  you  should  mention shaking  hands  for  the  peace  in church, I wasn't used  to  it  but  I  did  it  because I didnt  want to upset  anyone, so what  I do is not  move  out of  my seat , I  only  shake  hands  with  those immediately  near  me,  some  wonder around  to everyone.

Heard from a third party that a buddy of ours died yesterday morning in hospital where he had been put in a coma after two weeks but never survived it. A taxi driver in his mid 50's who had managed to keep his taxi on the road this past year, sensible big guy and careful so presumably double-jagged? Sad business, it aint over!

Bests,
Skoosh.

  Louisa Maud, re "the peace", I do the same, stay in my place, shake hands with anyone who insists, and wave vaguely around! I wish I had the moral courage of an old lady I once heard of, who knelt in her pew with her head down throughout.
