@pollyanna1052 Yes! I've seen lots of people 'doing lunch' in their cars in recent weeks. It's become a bit of a thing in some places, I think. And quite typically British.
Good thinking @OverlyAnxious! Yes, it's been a bit strange how some places still seem eerily quiet, whilst everybody descends on the same spot elsewhere.
@lisathomas50 I think you're right there. For various reasons, many of us will still be very cautious for the time being.
We shall have to wait and see how things work out. But enjoy, whatever it is that you'll be doing tomorrow.

NoI'm usually up to date with the latest guidelines but i must have missed every announcement going for the 17th. I know it's my mum's birthday so I was confused as to why everybody kept mentioning the 17th on social media. I was convinced everybody knew it was her birthday @Tori_Scope i need that picture haha!1

I enjoyed a lovely afternoon out with my carer. We went to Bingley (West Yorkshire) and enjoyed lunch in Lavinias café. It felt so normal to be eating indoors again.

Still level 3 in Glasgow so nothing changed0

YesEnjoy @woodbine! It'll be nice to see them.
I'm glad you had a lovely time @pollyanna1052 I hope you managed to avoid some of the rain.0 -
YesI saw that one the news @cazza6565, but I don't know a great deal about the lockdown situation in Scotland. Has a date been proposed for when restrictions might ease a little, or are they playing it by ear for now? Are you coping okay?0

@Tori_Scope well the Rangers fans at weekend didnt help must have been around 1500 of them gathered at George Square which is in the city centre leading to 5 police injured and 28 arrests. So i see level 3 remaining for now. Everyone in certain postcodes (mine included) have to be tested even if you have no symptoms as there is a big spike in cases.
As for me i broke my arm couple of weeks ago so no plans to go anywhere0 -
YesGlad to sit in a couple of places for pitstop and comfort break.

YesI'm sorry to hear about your arm @cazza6565 Wishing you the best for your recovery. Stick in there!0

NoI think so, she's never been fussed about her birthday so it's always difficult to find out what she would like. I did get her a Ronan Keating t-shirt, which she loves, thanks for asking @Ross_Scope0
-
YES ? I am going to the Market them lunch by the River. I will take Duck Pellets to feed them. No one should ever give wildlife bread, cake etc0
