Things I would never have thought I would want to say.

I don't want to look around the shops as you have to wear a mask

Let's not have a big family bash to celebrate the amazing fact that we have been married 50 years - let's hope we can celebrate 51 years......or maybe 52!

It’s a pity you can’t get into work today but we can’t pay our nurses enough to afford a nanny

Variations on "have you quarantined that parcel"

But did you wipe down all of the shopping and then wash your hands whilst singing Happy Birthday twice?

The woman who comes into the pharmacy where I work and won't touch the door handles, asking us to open and close the door for her.

Can I be in your bubble?

I'm not supposed to pat your dog. It might have Covid19 on its fur.
PS I did anyway, the lead was over 2 metres and I thought what the hell!

Shouting "big hugs!" when meeting friends, & we all keep (at least) two metres apart.....

Screaming "don't touch me" when a friend forgets and goes to hug you.

I will need to buy more elastic as I am making face masks.

Being told: You can't come to the hospital for treatment, it's too risky for you, we don't know when we can start it safely.

By the way, I did start it eventually , after asking if I could inject at home after being shown how to do it. .

my hands have had more alcohol than I have

I never thought I would say I would be quite happy never to go to the shops again . If it's not delivered to my door I don't want it .

Said by 4 year old DGD when we met up," I think you're getting a bit too close granny".

I don't like handling cash I'd rather use my card.

At last! I must seize this great opportunity to read the Barchester Chronicles! (And I did.)

Asking a hairdresser what Covid safety precautions she is taking before making an appointment.

I want to go to work

You won’t catch me going on a plane this year, next year, let’s see if it all dies down in 2022.

Shall we go for another walk since it’s allowed now?

Please will you let me come to your salon - my own hairdresser has really poor cross infection control!

" I'm not booking any holidays abroad for next year yet"

" I've scanned the track and trace QR code - can I order my drink now?"

No my DS won't let me look after my DGS as he has just started at nursery and might be infectious.
