Ahh, Philippe, I do wear protective goggles - well, large plain perspex 
glasses, but I didn't want to hide the beauty of my eyes :-)

The fetid rumour mills that are my children are constantly carping on 
about the dangers of a drifting atom of errant spittle, its survival 
time, and how it could cut my wife and I down before our best before 
date. So, generally, it's goggles on - except for selfies.

How do you do your shopping since lockdown? I'm still doing ours as the 
supermarkets have set hours for the wizened, like me.
