Social life, yay!

Today was hunting day again, which, in this particular case, meant two supermarkets, the bank, and I also had to go to our school to place my egg order. As I mentioned before, we get our eggs (XXL ones) from the father of a former student who has a chicken farm. Or egg farm. Whatever. Once a month we place the order, pay in advance, and a week later the eggs are delivered to the school. A great solution for those still working, but we retired old hags still go back for them because they are really good quality.

Of course, with the lockdown still in place, it is a bit different now... in a somewhat joyous way. I actually met five people today... from a proper distance, of course, but still. Two of the poor school secretaries are currently dealing with next term's immatriculations via internet - a gargantuan task I'm so not envying them for! The porter lady and the janitor were up for a chat, and one colleague was actually on duty, overseeing the single kid (out of 700+) the family apparently couldn't take care of.

Boss Woman was within, too, but I did not visit her, hehehe!

In the afternoon I was fairly dead and slept for two hours or so. Then I had nice, long phone chats with two other colleagues and a very short one with a third one. It was more social life than I'd had for weeks before.

One kid in school? Oh wow ...

Speak about huge crowds. *g*
In the kindergarten opposite our building there were two people watching a single kid for weeks, too.

Our schools amalgamated. So the one where I usually pick up the not-quite granddaughter currently has about 50 pupils attending rather than the usual 200+ - and includes children from 3 other schools that are closed. I think the teachers are also from all 4 schools so that there are familiar faces for all.

A month's worth of eggs in one go? Wow.

Usually 30, in our case. They last in the fridge without problems.

“Retired hags”, hehe. That made me laugh. It is good that you got to see people. And you got your eggs!

Social? I don't think I know that word.

It is nice to actually see people face to face even at a distance.

It sounds like you had a great day. We all need those now and again.

I'm glad you had a nice day.

Always nice to have a bit of social contact, albeit at a distance, these days.
