[UK Daily] Unblocking the first tour

20-05-20

Tomorrow Ye Shao is going to a company for a new job interview. The time is set at 8:30 in the morning.

Because the interview company was about two hours away by car from our house, he decided to go to the hotel there the day before to stay for one night, and he didn't have to rush the next day.

And I also specially asked for a day off to be his follower.

This is the first time we have travelled since the city was locked down in March last year.

During the past year or so, we went to the supermarket once a week to buy or pick up food (called click and collect in English, that is, to buy food online and then choose a time to pick it up).
Anything else you need is bought online. Try not to go out if you can.

On Sundays, I need to go to work in the company, while Ye Shao works from home.
On the weekends, I will expand the scope of activities a little, and take a walk in the park next to my home to breathe the fresh air.

To be honest, I was a little excited and a little apprehensive about going out this time.
If you are excited, you can go out and spend the night outside, but you are afraid that you have not done enough anti-epidemic measures.

In fact, Young Master Ye and I are both very housebound, but after being locked up at home for more than a year, we still want to get out of the house and go anywhere.

I envy my neighbors who have a courtyard at home. Occasionally, when the weather is nice, I can just pull up a chair and sit down to read a book and bask in the sun.
The point is that you can also raise a dog to play with the dog~~

In fact, I'm not bad. I ride a bicycle to work every day. I have the opportunity to see some flowers and plants on the road, and I can also feel the changes of the weather and the seasons of the year. Occasionally I see people walking their dogs and a playful squirrel dashing across the bike path to test my brakes for bad. . When you go to work to meet other colleagues, you can also wear a mask and keep a distance to greet each other.

But Young Master Ye really looks at the same walls and sees the same people every day (yes, it's just me).
I only see my colleagues on the computer screen when I have a work meeting, but I only talk about business affairs, which is really boring.

Only then did he discover that his house had limits.

The UK just went through the third stage of its reopening on Monday, allowing customers to dine indoors. So many restaurants have reopened.

It was still early after the hotel check-in, and the restaurants and bars inside were still open. Seeing that no one was there, we crawled downstairs in twos to get something to drink.

The entire bar was empty. There were a dozen or twenty tables, and there were only two tables of customers sitting in two corners of the restaurant.

You must dry your hands before entering the restaurant, and then use the app to punch in to indicate that you have been there at this time.
The purpose of the punch card is that if someone tests positive, everyone who is in the same place at the same time as him can be quickly notified, tested and quarantined.

I chose a seat that was a little distance from the two tables and sat down, and finally I could take off the stuffy mask and take a breath.

I ordered a soft drink, and Ye Shao ordered a black dog that he hadn't had for a long time. Looking at the cheese bacon fries on the menu, I can only say that the photographer is quite skilled. Then, don't waste his efforts, this french fries will help me too~

After eating and drinking, I quickly went upstairs to wash up and sleep.

The bathroom in the room has a large bathtub where you can take a bath. I think this is the happiest moment for Young Master Ye in the past year~
How he wished he could bring it home and soak it at home every day. But imagining the picture of me fainting after seeing the water bill is over, and I can only soak it "soft" while I can.

I don't ask much for a bath, just have hot water, soap and a towel. After taking a shower, I cleaned up and went to sleep.

***

Suddenly I feel that I can go out freely and safely before is really super happy~

It feels like people always wait until their power is limited and the so-called "basic" rights and interests are gone before they begin to know how to cherish them.
I hope that I can hold a grateful heart for everything and things in the future, and take good care of and cherish it.
As big as Guotai Min'an, three meals a day and enough; as small as every drop of clean water, every breath of fresh air.

Because there is nothing in the world that we deserve, like the freedom we used to take for granted.

Some things can be lost and found, and some things can never be found again. . .

I hope that the epidemic situation in every place will get better soon, so that everyone can go out of the house with peace of mind, go to the place they want to go, do what they want to do, meet the people they want to meet, hug the body temperature they want to hug, and embrace our long-lost ones again. free.
