It sure does feel weird, chresti. I went to a picnic with my colleagues yesterday, all of us fully vaxxed, in Central Park, and I was *exhausted* afterward. So unused to it now. But we have gone out for beers and over friends' apt. Slowly. Very excited for first show once the venues open back up!

Congrats chresti!🌻 But I hear you about going out. I'm yet to get a jab, but we are free of Covid in Victoria. Yet I still wear a mask when shopping, usually the only one in the store wearing one.

Mr. Pumpy:

Hello, Rob and radio friends! I made it out for a meal today with my best buddy for the first time in, well, you know. It was in a place with ten tables and still only seating half of them. Good times. It was a bit strange, but excellent fun. I hope you are all getting your jabs and returning to some normalcy.

We were shocked to have done it but also really relieved and happy after having had a dinner at our friends' place, chresti -- and not just because the roti place in their neighborhood is so good!

Kate now has one in-person teaching gig, once a week, and it's a massive relief to her. Ever since we came back inside, through ToPT's show and TPSP, she's been sitting there cursing and wrestling with yet another "education" "platform" for the distance learning. It's not good.

I *did* change out of my Eat Flaming Death, Fascist Media Pigs! T-shirt in order to go to that picnic with my coworkers. And then changed back into it for the travails of the day. And now just put it away after doing the last of the six loads of laundry the day required.

And that's pretty much my recent T-shirt and sociality history.
