As you know, I have absolute zero choice but to get exposed to hundreds of kids, other teachers, support staff and parents on a daily basis. We also have bin men coming into school, portaloo cleaners, sanitary waste cleaners etc.
Out of school I like to stay away from people as much as possible (same as before COVID), but if I'm putting myself at risk every day, it seems pretty pointless to stay at home like a prisoner in all my social time. As a result, I go to the pub every Friday evening. Just me and the Mrs - arrive at 6pm, couple of pints and go home. Book a table, have a quick natter with the bar staff (been a local for several years) and that's the limit of my engagement.
Saturday morning, I get on my Bike and go out to breakfast with 5 of my mates. Three of us work in schools, and another is a Nurse so again, at far less risk at breakfast than we are at work.
At the weekend, I always try and do 'something' to help me remember why I go to work all week. Shuttleworth last week, Zoo week before, off to Delapre Abbey this weekend. Again - we keep away from people, use bookings where possible and limit our social interaction to serving staff etc.
The new rules shouldn't affect stuff, just hoping that we don't go into further lockdown. However, I don't think that feckless crapweasle Boris would risk losing any more of his mates money.
