It’s strange with things being kind of normal but not really normal. From a distance it’s normal there’s shops, cafes, hairdressers and other businesses back open, cars are on the road, people are out and about, but look closer and the details are wrong. There’s the queues, masks, everywhere marked out to keep us 2m apart, the businesses which are still shuttered or gone under for good and the the plexiglass screens. It’s like we’ve gone through the looking glass to a slightly crappier version of our lives.
So much this.
This afternoon I suddenly got the anxiety feeling and inability to focus back.
Not sure why. I've been feeling back to myself and getting on with things that needed doing - child eye test, children's shoes. I've been out socially to homes and eateries. We're planning a (same island) camping holiday.
But it just all feels so fragile. There are too many people determined to lock us up and muzzle us.
They say things like "the virus hasn't magically gone away", like lockdown was about getting the virus to go away and must continue until it does.
And they are still all obsessed with locking children away or muzzling them if they must be let out. I actually hate these people. I have never felt this feeling before.
