We’ve got so used to the idea of not seeing anyone, suddenly a simple group barbecue can feel daunting and, quite literally, unsafe
The other day, I spotted a friend in the park. ‘How are you?’ I shouted, across the metres. ‘Oh, fine!’ she said. I noticed she had her kid and another woman in tow. ‘We’re doing bubbles.’‘No,’ she said, ‘ACTUAL BUBBLES,’ and brandished a bubble tube and wand.Social bubbles are one of the many things I’m anxious about as we start reintegrating into each other’s lives.
I arranged to meet a group of friends on the beach in Brighton last week. Our WhatsApp messages had been rabid with excitement as we planned whether we’d need swimming gear, parasols and whatnot. Hey, it was the closest we were getting to a holiday. But when we actually met and sat, spaced out, by the shore – we felt just that. Spaced out. Everyone was quiet for the first 10 minutes. It was awkward.
