I'm desperate to go to some gigs and go have a few social drinks at the pub.
You and me both! I was lucky enough between the lockdowns to get a pub trip in with some friends, and a random live band started playing that night! Made me nostalgic for gigs. C'mooooon vaccines!

And that's the story of why I'm not allowed near pregnant women for the next few weeks.

Went to Tesco to do a big shop

Its crowded

The roads are packed. Everyone is out and about. There is no 2m observation anymore

There is no lockdown.
I don't think people can be blamed for going to Tesco etc. really. Same with going to walk around parks. It does annoy me when you see groups that are obviously not from one household though.

Just come back from my jab. It actually hurt... I have a yearly flu jab which isn't nearly as bad. Oh well.
7days and I'll be at optimal resistance.

To work? Far more workplaces are open now than last year.

Does anybody else have pointless things they still do to maintain a level of normality?

I put aftershave on. Everyday. I've spent hundreds on aftershave over the last ten months and they're all now half full.

I have sacked the aftershave off, I have particularly expensive tastes there and buggered if I am wasting it :)

I'm all ears if you have recommendations...

I'm chasing a certain aftershave at the moment but I don't know what it is. There's someone (and stay with me here) that I always arrived to work at a similar time as and was always in the lift at the same time, and when I concluded there was nothing weird about just asking what aftershave he wore, Covid hit. My suspicion is something very expensive (the floor he got off at was a hedge fund), but I'd buy some for special occassions...

Reddit's probably put paid to me ever finding out. :x

Bathing as a way to describe general hygiene

Tbh if I didn't shower every day I'm unsure where I'd even derive joy.
