Wednesday's painting...

...absolutely not a creative bone in me today. Tried several digital paintings and drawings. All useless.

I give you this digital drawing for today.

I met a friend today. We met in McDonald's.

I was prepared as I have been the last few weeks. Before we sat down, I wiped the chairs and table down with antibacterial wipes. The worker in McDonald's was cleaning surfaces so half heartedly she would be spreading anything...She just dabbed a couple of places on the ordering screens with her cloth. Absolutely useless. She glared at me.

There was not one customer in McDonald's. My friend and I were the only ones. It is normally packed with customers sitting down, and take aways. The drive-in, however, did have a long queue of cars.

I gave my friend her birthday presents and card (which I had printed). Her birthday present was was some bandanas (which she had asked for), a couple of hand gel sanitisers (she had said she couldn't find any, but I found a couple of larger containers yesterday of which a whole pile had just that moment come into the shop and there were no restrictions but every customer just took two bottles and I decanted them into  easy to carry bottles), then a large packet of antibacterial wipes for her, as well as a small packet of tissues. She had no idea of the routine I have been doing these last two weeks, with wiping any public surface, with antibacterial wipes, I sit down at. I also explained my routine when I use any public toilet. She hadn't thought about all the surfaces that could be infected, as well as lift buttons etc etc. 

We went round the shops, some of which were completely empty. It is so much easier driving my mobility scooter round an empty shop. I still had a few more things I needed.

Then we went for a coffee somewhere else. And she was getting the hang of it by now. By using the sanitiser each time we entered and left a shop. And she did the table and chairs with the wipes before we sat down. She went to get the coffee, but carried it back on a tray.  I asked her how many people had used that tray (I've never seen those trays wiped between use), so out came her hand sanitiser again...

I also always wear gloves out of the house, and wash them each time I come home.

There were some people a few tables away in this place who stared at us for using antibacterial wipes and hand sanitiser.

I needed time out of the bungalow today because Monday is still affecting me badly with that weird Amazon delivery guy scaring me.  Psychologically I felt so much better when I got back home, after being out a few hours. I won't be taking the parcels from any more Amazon delivery guys, they can leave them outside in the safe place.

In fact I won't be answering the door to anyone I don't know, whether they have a parcel or not.

Ready for sleep now. Popeye is already asleep.
Good night.
