Debenhams closed all their stores suddenly on April 9th 2020 when it’s parent company in the UK went into administration. Employees of the company continue to protest outside and until recently inside the Patrick Street location where this photo was made.

The anti-mask crowd make a lot of noise but despite them people are still protecting themselves and others by wearing masks during this pandemic.

Dogs don’t need to wear masks around people, thankfully. He hates being left at home. As soon as he has an inkling that we’ll be going out he will sit by me looking directly at my face. If I’m not looking at him he starts jumping up looking for attention. He’s a small dog, but he makes his presence known!

I barely used my camera in April. I took one photo with it and it was a test shot of my office window. My first time taking the camera out was May 9th when we had to go into town to do some shopping.
Not many people were wearing masks then, but social distancing was happening. The city was still mostly shut down and there weren’t that many people about.
It was a sign of the times that an advertisement for a movie released in mid-March was still showing on a bus at the start of May. The country had ground to a halt.
Masks become mandatory today in shops and public transport. The next phase of unlocking the economy has been put on hold. Pubs were supposed to open on August 10th but that won’t be happening.
