Having to wait for bread and many other things has become the new normal. Keep your distance, Gillena! :)

Social distancing is necessary as a precautionary measure though I hope we won't need it sometime in the future.

Elegant in its simplicity.

Trader Joe's near me was the first market that I saw was implementing the distancing guidelines. Most places have followed suit, thank goodness. We have to flatten that curve.

Lines that seem to go forever are definitely a feature of this time. Yesterday, my nephew told me that the line to the pharmacy wrapped around the block. There were about 10 people, trying to keep 6 feet apart.

We have these queues here too, I'm told – but have not been out to see as I am lucky enough to get things delivered. I like your use of the word 'fresh' here.

Ahhh! Fresh bread. I would make it myself but I can't get flour and yeast anywhere. Suddenly, everyone is a baker.
