This weekend, I did things that were before the COVID era considered ordinary things to do.

I sat outside a pub, with friends one evening, and played a game of five aside on the other. The absence of these things over an elongated period of time has meant that doing it again, I appreciate it more than ever.

Being able to interact with friends and family in a way where we do not have to be concerned about potentially harming each other with a virus is my idea of returning to normal.

We are not quite out of the woods just yet, so but things do look like they could be better and that’s what I hold on to.

Moving forward, I think we may be able to appreciate the things we can do again that we weren’t able to for a while that bit more, and seize the moment accordingly.
