In this episode Meredith catches up with Steve who is in Stroud, England to see how he's holding up during the Covid19 crises.
The discussion moves straight into talk about an effective way to socially distance yourself from others at the supermarket. It leads to some interesting chats about how Seinfeld characters would handle a supermarket shop in our current climate.
Steve lets us know about life in the countryside of Gloucestershire and the four reasons why you're allowed out of the house.
At the end of the episode Steve lets us know about something that is urking him at present. The current over-use on news broadcasts of adjectives that describe the current 'times'. These are the ones he's heard so far: Unprecedented, testing, trying, troubled, dark, tricky, sad, difficult, interesting and most desperate of. I'm going to keep an ear out next time I watch the news, why don't you play along as well.
