I didn't get my usual seat on the train this morning.
It's the first time that's happened in the weeks since the trains got quiet enough that I could have a usual seat. Still not enough people on it to take every row so I got a six seater to myself again. I don't know what I'll do when the carriage is too full to find a seat again.
Work is still half empty, with only those rostered to work in the office here. I'm always here, my role essential and too customer based to work elsewhere. COVID isn't far from our minds - hard to be as health public servants - but our usual business is creeping back in. Today's first mention of 'the virus' was nothing more than coworkers idly chatting, not official talk.
Lunch was weird. Place I buy from had a line and a large party dining i n. Haven't had to wait at all for a while. It's a little nerve racking to have people so close in public.
I get to see my parents and brother this long weekend. Might actually hug them, for the first time in months – or at least touch them. Mum and I have had birthdays in the weeks of lockdown, and though we’ve seen each other in person since I’ve still not hugged her for it – or for Mother’s Day, the last time we met.
I might not though. Will see what the risk feels like when I’m in their house.
At least I can still hug the dogs.
