We’ve been in the house from the off. Walking yes but no shop, queue, other humans anywhere near us for over 5 weeks. I’m talking no closer than maybe 10 metres.
Today I opened the window to ask the postman to leave the parcel on the doorstep and he came over and gave me the post into my hand. Less than 2 metres and pretty close. I politely said thank you but now I am totally panicking. I actually had tears in my eyes. That’s a little too ridiculous isn’t it. A 5 second encounter. How do I come out of the other side of this and actually return to civilisation? I do have a person being shielded but I know that this is a silly reaction. He didn’t lick me but he was very close. Argh.
