Possibly a subject for the sex topic but it's very much to do with covid so here goes!
Dh is currently living elsewhere, he is vulnerable to covid due to a health condition and recently has been quite poorly, so would be classed as extremely vulnerable at the moment but he is getting better.
I work in an environment where I'm potentially could be exposed daily to covid, it's a job where social distancing is almost impossible and I'm unable to wear ppe.
So we made the (hard!) decision for him to move in with family who are retired. He is able to wfh and I see him often for walks, coffee in the garden etc. It is shit but the alternative is way worse so we're dealing with it.
So, our dilemma, it's our wedding anniversary in a few weeks and we talked about having a walk in the countryside or drinks in the garden. Lame but we're obviously limited! Dh (after a few drinks!) asked if a 'hand job' would be safe and it got me thinking.,,, If there was no kissing and we wore masks (so attractive!) could we, erm, do what couples do on their anniversary?
I'm guessing not but I'm sad and I miss him

Totally think you could do it doggy style, outdoors. Sounds a bit grim but I would probably class that as lower risk than a conversation across a table 
So two very different replies
We're trying to work out what's minimal contact, so doggy style does fit the bill!
I have the type of job that means I really can't get caught getting jiggy outside!!!!
Glory hole 
The garden is a good idea, although potentially traumatising for either the dc or grandparents! (depending on the 'venue')
I wondered if I booked a squeaky clean hotel room it would be safe? Well ventilated, masks on etc The no kissing would feel a bit sex worker but I'm sure it would be worth it!!!
@RMarieClaire yes! Guidelines would be extremely useful
Maybe using the power of Mumsnet we could provide Boris & co with the first draft!
God, now I'm worried that this will be picked up by the tabloids. I work with some very vulnerable people and parts of my job are hugely confidential
I have name changed!
With all this anticipation, however it happens im sure it will be amazing OP!
Congratulations!
@Ktay cheaper than a posh meal out!!
It's actually a reasonably significant anniversary this year, so £29 would be a bargain
