Memories of life Covid 19
Memories while in Covid19 Lockdown.
----------------------------------------------------------
2 smoke alarms with flat batteries weeks apart, late at night.
Mouse in the Kitchen, dashing to supermarket to buy traps/caught.
People much more sociable [with distancing] than normal.
Set up email contacts with 20 neighbours round robin.
NOW Level 3.
Too many cars out speeding/cruising while people are walking.
No queues at supermarket.
Petrol tank still full after 6 weeks.
--------------------------------------------------------
BEST of all events during LOCKDOWN.
Computer contact with family overseas.
AND being alive to tell the tale.
------------------------------------
WORST not having nor wanting ONLINE banking.

WHAT short story do you have to recall as we live through history.
