Caroline O'Donoghue: A year indoors, sticking to close friends and family, makes you weird
Irish Examiner Request :- Columnist - Caroline O'Donoghue in London. FAO Eoghan Dinan
England is a little bit back to normal now, and I’ve just had my first full week of pubs (outdoor) restaurants (also outdoor) and shopping (crowded, too polite, everyone bumping off each other and getting their masks tangled in their headphones). Please, try not to hate me too much. We’ve all spent too long resenting Australia and New Zealand for their ‘back to normal’ stance, and I know that even reading this paragraph has made you hate me a little bit.
There’s been a marked change in this version of ‘getting back to normal’. As we all know, we’ve been burned by the ‘getting back to normal’ mantra before.
