[Leica] IMGs x 7: CoVid-19 Crisis

[Douglas Barry]

Ahh, Philippe, I do wear protective goggles - well, large plain perspex 
glasses, but I didn't want to hide the beauty of my eyes :-)

The fetid rumour mills that are my children are constantly carping on 
about the dangers of a drifting atom of errant spittle, its survival 
time, and how it could cut my wife and I down before our best before 
date. So, generally, it's goggles on - except for selfies.

How do you do your shopping since lockdown? I'm still doing ours as the 
supermarkets have set hours for the wizened, like me.

Its car park is always jammed with many people leaving their cars scattered over the local hinterland. However, since the arrival of CoVid-19, so many jobs have gone, people are working from home, etc., so the busy car park is now nearly empty.
