Decided that I’d try a shopping run yesterday afternoon, thinking that Friday in the middle of the afternoon might be a better time than my usual Saturday morning. The fruit shop was OK; they were only letting 10 people shop at a time, but there were fewer than 10 people when I got there, and I got straight in. No bananas (disrupted supply chains?), but otherwise much as normal apart from all the cashiers wearing face masks and everyone staying 2m from each other.<\/p>\n
The supermarket had a queue to get in, presumably because they’re also limiting how many are in there at one time. Because everyone was standing so far apart, it looked longer than it probably was; there might have been 20 or 25 people in it. But I decided that I didn’t want to wait (I still had some work to finish) and bailed.<\/p>\n
We aren’t actually out of anything yet, and I can try again later. Erin’s suggested maybe trying in the evening after dinner. It’s hard to say when will be a good time.<\/p>\n
