The restaurant is busy. It’s lunch time. People are starting to go out again. There are as many people as there can be in this tiny place. Masks are worn but it’s permitted to take them off when you sit down. The tables are generously spaced apart. The waiters all wear double face coverings and place your food items using a long reach. I am used to it all now: masks, wearing big coats so the restaurants can leave the doors and windows open. When I do go out, I like sitting outside under a heat lamp.
