Our Tuesday night pub quizzes have restarted, so I have been in a pub for the first time since early March. Counting chemists, barbers and garage I think that's the fourth commercial establishment I've been in in almost six months. It's been so long I had to remind myself which way to go to drive there!

Quiz was much the same, pub not so much - tables booked in advance, temperature taken on arrival, test and trace info recorded before you can sit down, and then table service rather than bar. There was hand sanitizer outside the door as well, but I missed that - and was wearing gloves anyway, so there was no point. No one at the bar was fine by me as I was sitting closest to it, which means other than the two friends I was with - both retired, so not mixing much - the closest other person was 3-4m away. That I can live with. It used to get extremely crowded when the cathedral choir arrived after practice, but I guess they're not practicing at the moment.

We didn't finish in the top three - we may have missed by one point, but given we're two people down on our normal (they're seriously vulnerable, so still isolating) that wasn't too bad. We'll be back in a fortnight. -- ETA, ah, bugger, no we won't -- gatherings of more than six banned from tomorrow
