From a weekend in the wilderness, I will return to a reopened country on Monday morning.
I have managed ten weeks in a closed country quite well. My work life wasn't much affected. I did a course in personal protective equipment. I got a little lazier and fatter, did a little charity work, read old books, watched Netflix, cycled and walked, drank wine with my friends.
I lost a trip to Italy, missed the library but rediscovered my own bookshelf of old favourites, did some writing, almost lost someone dear to me, was stiff-necked just like the folks in the Old Testament, enjoyed Star Trek and Kalevala.
I have really missed café windows, thrift shops, dinners in candle-lit bistros and freedom.
But there is rest in staying still, when everybody else is staying still too. And new ideas are coming.
