Surely this person is taking the piss
That has to be sarcasm??
Babs is amazing, isn't she? I find it absolutely baffling that she can acknowledge she is lucky, but in the same breath makes herself sound SO hard done by! Does she not think that, no matter how fortunate people have been during this, that we aren't all missing "normal" social interaction? That there is one person in this country at the moment who hasn't felt hopeless/overwhelmed/frustated/lonely/fed up/had cabin-fever during this?? We'd all like our normal lives back. I wouldn't mind her moans quite so much if she shared anything, anything at all, that was remotely helpful. But no, its a "woe is me" or a "we got this" post swiftly followed by one of her garbled ads. The pattern is so transparent now and because of it nothing she does or says feels authentic. Apart from not going to every tat shop in Birmingham, her life is much the same as it was before all this except her pesky children and husband are at home encroaching on her slobbing time!
I work within the funeral industry and the weight of loss is very heavy amongst us at the moment, and as one of the arrangers I work with regularly said the other day "we're all in a permanent state of grief at the moment, for our lives, our normality, our freedom". It really struck a chord with me.
