Gavin rang, almost in tears, which sounds absurd when you picture the big man. He's in despair over how they're going to be expected to police the new (or are they?) rules about gradual relaxation of the lockdown. The government's 50-page guide does make a few things more clear, but some of the new rules look like a tightening of what we all thought the old rules said. For example, it reads as if we were breaking the rules the other day when Father Damien held a conversation with me and Peter with him in hte road outside and us together in the garden, because you are only allowed to meet with a single person not from your household while you are out and it's got to be n a public place, not your own garden. Gavin has been under a lot of pressure recently with other officers off sick or isolating and not being able to do a lot of the thngs that he most enjoys about the job because they involve getting too close to people. And now he's starting to think that it's just not worth going on! Learning new things has always been difficult for him and 50-pages f far-from-clear advice were just too much fro him to take in so quickly. Peter talked him through them page by page and I think he's a bit more confident now that he'll be able to make a reasonable fist of it, but honestly! I certainly know who I wouldn't be asking to organise a piss-up in a brewery!
