Do you remember when we used to go to football matches and gigs and if someone scored or if the band played a particular banger we’d hug each other and jump up and down?
It's nice to let your mind wander back like that at the moment. But equally, you will likely have a very vivid memory of this pandemic 10 years from now. Memories aren’t always nice... or even helpful.
