Yes, strange times. I’m the only one in the office now, as all others either are in domestic quarantine, on leave days or in home office; so I can go barefoot over the whole division – which is undesirable generally. This weekend we had the first real warm spring days over here, so I thought it would be great to dispense with footwear. Well it was wonderful for a three-hour solo walk on remote hill trails, but it wasn’t such a good idea for doing my basic food purchasing. They have patched a row of signs on the floor every 2 m to keep safety distance waiting at the cash points, so everyone was looking to the ground to check this, and soon everyone was staring at my bare feet. Never got so many cutting glances in this store at “normal” times. Usually the most people don’t even notice I’m going on bare paws. Probably people should learn you don’t get COVID19 infection via your soles ;-)
People are pretty touchy right now. Just grin and bear it. Or put something on your feet. Hate the thought of that!
