Missed the bus home to begin my 5 day break, which should have meant an hour's wait in the sun, but as luck would have it a white van pulled up to offer me a lift.
It was a former colleague, Z, which was a surprise as he would normally drive something a bit sportier.
"What's in the back of the van?"
"Nothing"
"Why you driving it then?"
"I don't get pulled over driving this thing. Police think I'm a hard working builder. I get some respect on the road."
Which made me chuckle, but I guess makes sense - a young, well groomed, slightly flash looking British-Pakistani male in a decent motor is going to turn more heads among the more prejudicial West Yorkshire filth than as an anonymous white van man. Although I had to ask him quite a few times what he's doing for a living now before I got the rather vague answer "helping my Dad", so perhaps he's got good reason not to get pulled over.
Anyway he took me the whole way home as apparently I was good to him when I was his boss, which was nice. He was a nightmare to manage, to be fair.

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing this distancing thing all wrong.
It's a friend of my daughter's birthday, and we were asked to do a drive by the house, honking and waving to with her a happy birthday. So off we went. During the actual drive past I could not help but notice that, in the front yard, was said friend's family, and representatives of at least 2 other families that don't live next door, and also out front next door and basically intermingling were the actual neighbours plus representatives of at least one more family.
I have a friend who's planning on going on vacation to Spain and Italy in July.
