There’s a fellow jogger I see every morning who, when he spots me in the distance, pulls up a face mask, lowers his dark glasses and moves so far onto the verge that the sheep on the other side of the wall do a runner.

If you’re a church-goer, online services mean you can avoid that awkward handshakey/huggy ‘sign of the peace’ bit. But what and how much will change for ever, or at least the foreseeable? The jury’s out. And unless they’re in a virtual court, will be for quite a while.
