Saturday 4 April
Finished nightshift and called at M&S on way home in Newcastle. There was a long queue but we all moved up quite fast. I didn't want much but everyone is now being given a trolley - no baskets - I was told this helps with social distancing. It was a bit frustrating as they have moved some things around so it was a bit of hide and seek to find what I wanted. It is the last thing you want to have to go round in circles trying to locate stuff after a nightshift when you have little energy and just can't be bothered. Staff are running things like a well oiled machine on the safety front.
Managed to time getting the bus much better today. There used to be four an hour but now there is just one.
I went to the back of the bus to maintain my distance but someone came along there too .. although we are at opposite sides of the windows. Same thing happened yesterday, people following me to the back even though there are plenty of seats to choose from.
Looking forward to breakfast and bed when I get in which will be around lunch time.
