Me neither, far too risky at present. Either I will shop online or go without what I might have purchased from a shop until later.

The further decline of the high street this will be, something we will all have to live with I reckon. Businesses will realise the benefits, they will need to have warehouses and facilities for online shopping but will not have to pay out extortionate business rates, as they probably do presently for high street shops. The younger generation, well-used to technology and shopping online, are future customers and they already shop in this way so will possibly welcome this kind of change.

Re: Will you be going shopping today?

There’s nothing I desperately need so no, I won’t be going into town for a long while yet.

I’m looking forward to watching this evening’s local news though just to see how it’s all going.

I think it will a long time yet until we feel safe enough to restart our usual Monday trips into town.

I shan't be going into town for a long time yet. The only shop worth visiting in Northampton, for me anyway, is Waterstones and I am now getting any books I want online from them.

Val might be going to Tesco tomorrow. I might join her for the fresh air but might equally stay close to the car rather than go in the store.

Re: Will you be going shopping today?

Might nip down to Wilko's for a few bits, but that's about it.
I am not a lover of browsing round shops for the sake of it.

Re: Will you be going shopping today?

No shopping for me. We have managed to get groceries delivered throughout the lockdown and will hopefully continue to do so. Other goods have been bought online too.

Might keep doing this even if the World becomes a safe place to go out in again.
