THREAD: I keep being asked when we can go "back to normal" or "like it was before". My personal thoughts: We've added a new disease to our population, more infectious and more severe than flu. The world pre 2020 no longer exists - we may want it to, but it just doesn't. 1/13

Welcome to the worlds most stressful video. I will go in a cave if it's as large as a palace, has lighting and stairs, and there's a gift shop at the end. That's it.
I used to do caving when I was a mere slip of a lad and I remember one entry pretty much like this except the entrance was also covered in brambles when we arrived. ‘We are going where now?’

Barcelona has an amazing school cycle bus every Friday. Wherever you are in the world, few kids will see this and think “I’d like to be driven to school instead”. When the project started there were just five children taking part. Change can happen fast.

God. Imagine having to live without someone after being married to them for 74 years. I can't even begin to comprehend it.
