Donny

He was never much of a shopper. He will tell you that himself. But then Covid struck, and his world was turned upside down. Saturday morning in the pub with the paper, picking out the runners in whatever horse racing meeting that was on.  Winding his football mates up depending what team they supported. Fixing the ills of the country and the world over creamy pints. When the virus shut down everything, he was brought shopping. Not once but every Saturday, without fail. Efforts to wrangle out of it got harder and harder. It was a downhill slope. Why should I do the shopping on me own she said, you eat half the food.  Still, you can lead a horse to a shop window but you can’t get him to look in. So, it is a permanent sulk from the time he leaves the house until he returns. He is longing for the 5th of July 2021, when the pubs reopen. He knows though that it might be difficult to get back on to that planet.
