But it's very different now. Although I took the precaution of getting a little bit of cash into the house just before the lockdown started, simply because we had no idea how this thing was going to pan out over isolation, we haven't really used any cash since mid-March. Household shopping is now a very rare event, and when I do foray out it's a £100+ super-shop designed to last at least a fortnight. Neither Mrs O nor myself have seen a hairdresser and I'm beginning to resemble the Dulux dog - same colour too!

I'm sure your routines have probably altered quite a lot too …..
But whilst we get used to a new way of living, I do remain a bit concerned that this virus will have propelled us all into a brave new world of a cashless society. We have been "encouraged" to pay by card, but I am also seeing signs that some organisations are actually starting to refuse cash altogether, on the grounds that it puts the safety of employees at risk. Two examples - South Western Railway have stopped accepting cash for tickets in their ticket offices and their ticket machines; Dorset County Council have gone further and, in re-instating car parking charges (away from beauty spots where car parks remain closed) have said their machines will no longer take cash OR card payments, you must use a Smartphone App or telephone them with your card details. I do, in passing, wonder if it is legal for them to do this, but that's what is happening.
It concerns me this is the thin end of (for me as an oldie) a rather nasty wedge.

What do you think? How have your routines changed, and will we go back to conducting our lives as before the lockdown?
