    Same here in the south. Biergartens opened and usually full but obviously with considerably distance between tables than would otherwise be.

    Not actually sat in a restaurant yet, and we really want to eat out. The think that's putting the family off from doing anything in the world is not the virus itself but the aftereffects. Too many story of people suffering for months following recovery with potential life scaring of tissue.

    So on one hand you've got folks succumbing to the disease and on the other folks not really recovering. A guy in Fife I know, healthy fit runs the occasional marathon for fun.. has recovered from the illness but now struggles to get out of bed in the morning nearly 3 months later.

    This illness will not come and go like the wind and that fear is enough to keep the family at home, which if I'm honest is not a bad place to be.

    Took a walk down to the lake yesterday..

      Over the last few years I've been more drinking while doing something, e.g. playing snooker / pool / bowls.

      It's been a long time since I've gone to the pub for the sole purpose of drinking so I don't see any reason to go now, especially when I can get better value for money at home without the risk of catching something. I'm genuinely not missing the pub as much as I expected to.

        As much as I'm looking forward to pubs and restaurants, I'm staying the hell away for a few weeks!

          And the missus doesn't have to be pissed as a fart to find you attractive either. Double bargain.

            She went to buy £20 worth of make up last week. I told her to put it back; I picked up a £5 bottle of wine and told her she'd look just as pretty.

              Have you removed it from your bum yet?
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                      The pubs worth going to won't be awash with drongoes anyway. Ours is waiting a while to re-open anyway.
