No More Dinners, Please

It was a most difficult decision to make.  I had been invited to an old friend's daughter's wedding and in the face of the present virus epidemic, I was hesitant to go because it would mean sitting in an aircon room with at least one hundred other people.  I couldn't very well wear a mask to the dinner as everyone would think I'm crazy, so after much persuasion and assurance from other friends that everyone would be safe, I finally went armed with my hand sanitizer (and a mask in my handbag in case I needed it).  The dinner started late and I sat sandwiched between two other ladies who fortunately didn't sneeze or cough throughout the dinner.  It was indeed a great relief when it ended after something like eight courses.  I hope there will be no more wedding dinners in the next few months, it would be really too stressful for people like me.
