This week has been pretty much the same as last week, although the lockdown is easing. Kathy has gone back to work albeit for shorter hours for now.
At work we are gearing up to move operations nearer to normal. Fares are soon going be collected again and front doors reopened. This depends on how quickly the company can get the drivers’ cab areas sealed properly. Once done, they’ll be examined before being allowed to leave the garages. Every single vehicle will be checked.
Life outside work goes on as before. Although non-essential shops are being allowed to open from the 15th June, the hospitality sector is still closed down. There’s not much point going out on a day off, as there’s nowhere to go for a coffee, a beer, lunch or dinner. It is a bit tiresome I guess, but I fully understand the necessity, of course. It would be crazy to rick a second wave right now by opening everything up too quickly. Even at Government level, it’s still all pretty much a guessing game; a balancing act.
I ordered some more beer, this time from Electric Bear Brewing Company. £35 for 12 assorted cans. 4 each of Session IPA; A Wheat Beer; an IPA and an American Pale Ale, which is pictured below.
I had a couple of these on Friday evening. Went down nicely with some of the chicken from The Ethical Butcher.
