Did a kind of socially-distant stroll around a park for a few hours with a friend on Saturday, which probably did more for my mental health than any amount of exercise or meditation or talking to people through tiny screens. Of course we weren’t really socially distant, since that would miss the point. And we weren’t consistently physically distant either, because it’s tricky to stand two metres from someone and have a conversation, and it’s basically impossible when you’re walking. We probably managed it while sitting down though.
I haven’t been out for ages, so the chances of my being a danger to her are minimal.
My masks have started arriving. So now I can go on public transport and into shops without endangering other people.
Although, again: I’m unlikely to be endangering people.
Also, it sounds like everyone has kind of given up on wearing masks.
Except on public transport, where it’s the law. Why it isn’t the law in shops I have no idea.
Today is Juneteenth, which my (American) employer declared a day of learning and reflection. So I’ve been reading and thinking, and hope my co-workers all have also.
Stay safe. Wear your mask.
