Non-political consequences of COVID

I'm going to carry on cutting my own hair. I can do a really good job in about 15 minutes with a £10 hair clipper. I used to have to wait for about an hour at the barber's.

I'll stick to making my own naan breads. Unlike the shop ones they don't contain any fat, contain hardly any salt and aren't a silly teardrop shape.

They also make good pizza bases so I'll carry on making those myself as well.

I'm still not allowing visitors

My Iraqi hair cutter only charged £9 a pop but closed during the lockdowns. I've been using retro-style Wahl clippers ever since. I'm pretty useless at it and I might get a proper cut for a wedding or similar function, but I think I'll stick to DIY for the moment.

I'm going to be working more from home, even when we go back in as 'normal'. Currently that's in the 'patient' bit of SWMBO's office, which as she's too busy to have private patients will continue for the forseeable future.

Talk about bragging. Mine takes about a minute and a half.

During the lockdowns I've developed an interest in watching the birds in the garden. It's been an unexpected delight.

The joke here (Norway) is that once the one metre social-distancing rule has been relaxed, then they’ll return to the traditional, and preferred, three metres.

Gucci face masks.

It's not crowded at the bar.

The NHS lost, me included many members of staff that had just burned themselves out.

Virtual pub meetings. We have a friend who moved out of town. For the times he can make it, we will be drinking at home on Zoom, although would still love to visit the local pubs when he can't.

Tempted to carry on wearing a mask in shops as staff are more polite to me when they don't see how ugly I am. However I expect that before long, mask wearers will become a small minority, and I will be seen as a potential hold-up risk rather than a considerate customer, so will have to stop.

Mrs Duff too.

I've got out the habit of going to the pub even infrequently.

I'm done with pubs and restaurants.

Loving bird and nature watching.
