I get what you mean Ann. Just standing outside on our front step felt weird after staying home a week - and that last foray was brief. I've lost track! :-0 :-D

I think after having been indoors away from people for so long it is going to be an effort to actually go out again. Luckily we don't live in a street party type of road!!

Have to admit to looking forward to a massive family gathering and hugs all round.
We usually meet in June, then in September.

However, as my sister in law has Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, one nephew has MS, another has Lyme Disease (mis-diagnosed for 20 years), we'll have to make sure the virus isn't still lurking. :-(

I see Steve Bruce (not being into football, I had heard of him either) is suggesting a game every day for a month once 'it's over' - as the season 'needs to be finished'

. :-0 :-0 :-0

It's just a ball game! It's done! give your head a wobble silly man!

There'll be no mass okay you're fine to mix again statement, in one form or another this could go on for quite a long time.

I'm seeing comments elsewhere to the effect 'when this is over let's have a street party, let's go out for a meal...…' etc
I get the sentiment but shudder at the thought of mass gatherings after so many isolating and distancing for so long.
:-( :-(

This just isn't a 'when the lights go on again' war.
