Definitely felt a bit weird
today. There were about 10 people stood outside the pharmacy as I parked
up to pick up my 4 weeks supply of tablets. When I got closer I read
the sign in the window "3 customers only at any one time".
Fortunately only 2 of the 10 were waiting in the queue.
As I entered the shop I got a view
of the pharmacist with a mask over his mouth.
For some reason his assistant didn’t.
I really hope it wasn’t because of a shortage of masks. I received my tablets and exited and sighed
with relief.
Quite rightly lots of talk about
heroic staff in NHS but lots of heroes also elsewhere. I’ll start with shout for chemist staff, shop
workers generally, post workers, carers, bus drivers, logistic staff, (all)
cleaners. Lots there and sure will be
more.
After that we drove over to Coulby
Newham Farm (of course closed) for an 8 mile walk through Fairy Dell, along Marton
West Beck through Marton to Nunthorpe Village and back over the fields via
Brass Castle Lane.
We loved it, it’s a great walk we’ve done many times but it
felt very different today. There were
lots of people out, unusually so but it felt like everybody knew the score
keeping a fair distance apart when we crossed. Lots of smiles and a few hello’s
but no stopping to chat.
I wonder how much longer we’ll be able to do this for?
