I'm an introvert, yet even I miss those sorts of big, fun events.
Happy Wednesday, Gillena.

Ah!Seems like eons ago, life was like this.
Those days will return but we must not be in a hurry as that will result in a return of the virus that will be even more difficult to eradicate.
Mmm, the good old days. Happy you dropped by Vandana

I’m not a lover of crowds, but I do miss the cricket of my childhood, when I used to watch my dad play.
Happy you dropped by Kim

Vividly created, Gillena. (The trouble is, many people are trying to return to pre-covid days too soon!)
I wonder if the carefree pre-Covid days will ever come again, or will we always feel a bit threatened when in a crowd. Sad to think of the sports events with no fans, the races with no people in the stands, the Olympics with no admiring throngs. Let us hope those days will return.
Even I'm thinking about how nice gatherings were pre-covid, and I'm pretty introverted.
Give me three wishes ... they will all be the same. Take me back to a simple time .. not that long ago.
Oh, I so want to go back to the days before Covid changed the world.
"Those were the days, my friend. We sang and ... and thought they'd never end." Gillena, do you remember those days? I've only been to pickup games in the parks in London, not with stadiums. Two times I was in a strident "riot" after pep rallies. We would flood Main Street of Lincoln, Nebraska with students, then all head up to ... I was 17 and 18 those times, at the University of Nebraska.
..
Pity though, this pandemic isolation is hard, but necessary.
