This day in 2020 (15th May)

My iPad popped up a photo reminder this morning.

It was the first day since the car arrived on day one of lockdown one that we were able to venture out further afield
We had a celebratory picnic at Elveden supercharger in the sunshine with our less than two month old car with 293 miles on the clock. (112 of those were delivery mileage!)

Unlike today, it was also warm and sunny…

I drove my father to visit his sister in her 80s just ahead of the announced lockdown, suspecting it would be many months before that might be possible again. Annoyingly managed to scrape my front-left fender against a low wall on arrival while reverse parking in heart-breaking silence, which made for problematic body shop consequence with result of being away from vehicle for nearly 6 weeks!

I was scheduled to start a new job 1st day of the lockdown. I asked my new employer if they wanted to delay my start date a week or two until this Covid thing is over…

Lockdown day 1. Drove to the office to pick up my laptop where one person was waiting for me. It was like the freeway was closed and I didn’t get the memo.

I became a click and collect supermarket shopper for various members of the family throughout those lockdowns as my only excuse to use the first Tesla & I still remember the open mouthed incredulity of an older lady watching me loading my bags into the 'engine' at Asda.

I still do all 'our' shopping, it's stayed as one of 'my' tasks & strangely enough we no longer have an excess of unused lotions, creams, shampoos, conditioners & other accumulated beautifications.

Wow. Even your bumper picks up cones What option is that? Ours just picks up yellow pollen and dirt. I think that was the finely streaked dirt option.

Sadly not. Went no further than the local supermarket until picnic at Thetford on the 15th

Got into supermarket home delivery by late April 2020 and still doing it now
What a lazy git…

That was at my collection at Stockport - could only go straight home after

But still have about 30 years more supply of toilet paper?

I have the joy of being clinically vulnerable so was in total isolation until late July (?). When I finally got back in my car (Hyundai Ioniq at the time) I sat there for a quite a while trying to remember which button did what…. I guess I wouldn’t have that problem now
