The pandemic has worn everyone down. Sometime a simple visit from a not so close friend is a bliss. Today a friends who is in the same profession as me visited me in my town. We went for a walk in the woods and exchanged ideas on any random topic you could think of. In the end she came in for a cup of tea and some snacks. Even though we were both tested negative recently and had no interaction with third-parties we unconsciously maintained the awkward 6 feet or 2 meters in real units. I for one completely abandoned the normal (what is normal anyway?) greetings such as of shaking hand or hugging. I hope to re-learn it after the pandemic. Anyway I had a great day.
