The wearing of face coverings is rather dystopian. I agree. But instead of whinging about popping one on for your half hour shop or while you grab a 'pret', spare a thought for the staff who have to wear them for a whole day's shift. And not just in shops! 🙄😷 #FaceMaskFriday

I wear a mask but often feel panicked when wearing it. Anyway, my mum gave me some lavender oil, so I've dabbed a tiny bit in the corner of the mask. It made me feel calmer. Has anyone else done this with their favourite scent or oil? #mask #covidmask #oil #relax #tipoftheday

Candles burning in Devon tonight. Praying for the safe return of the 2 remaining missing crew members. #brixhamboatsinks
