It will be nice to see you all
The return of real events brings a buzz back to working life
In recent weeks I have found occasion to feel frustrated while working my way through the throng in the local supermarket, but also pleased to find an empty seat in a pub beer garden on a warm Bank Holiday afternoon. I have been booking tickets for gigs, the theatre and even a holiday. What are really quite mundane moments from my life feel quite momentous. They signal that life is getting back to some semblance of normality after years – yes it has been years – of lockdowns. The habits and customs of our former lives are returning, albeit unevenly. Packed terraces at football matches and the buzz around who will be playing at Glastonbury indicate that the social side of society is re-establishing itself. But what of the world of work?
