| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Yarniaks podcast. |
| 0:12.3 | This is episode number 242, which we're recording on Wednesday, April 7th, 2021. |
| 0:19.4 | I'm Gail. |
| 0:20.5 | And I'm Charlene. And we had an exciting adventure last Friday for the first |
| 0:26.6 | time in, what, a year and two months. I actually sat in the local yarn store and knit on the |
| 0:34.7 | couch while Charlene was working. It was amazing. |
| 0:38.0 | It was the best afternoon in so long. |
| 0:40.9 | Yeah, it was great. |
| 0:42.9 | It was great. |
| 0:43.7 | We're not totally back to normal and we're not totally open, but we do have lots of fans and air moving and we still wore masks and customers. |
| 1:01.0 | We have a very limited capacity in the store and customers are asked to continue to keep distance. |
| 1:10.5 | So we are hoping that this is a move in the right direction. |
| 1:14.8 | Yep. I even stepped outside at one point because only five people are allowed in the store at a time. |
| 1:19.3 | And two women wanted to come in together. So I left the store so that they could come in together. |
| 1:24.2 | And that one woman who kept getting closer to you to show you her phone and the pattern |
| 1:29.0 | on her phone. I know. Charlie kept backing up and backing up. And the woman finally acknowledged, |
| 1:34.4 | oh, I'm sorry. I had both of my vaccine shots. And Charlene said, well, I haven't. So she politely |
| 1:40.4 | backed up. But it was a very, very enjoyable afternoon. I think I was there for at least |
| 1:47.5 | an hour and a half. It was so much fun. So the world is slowly, slowly going to start returning to |
| 1:54.9 | normal. Hopefully. And I know it's not everywhere. So just let's try to keep each other safe and get there so that we can all get there. |
| 2:07.9 | Exactly. |
| 2:08.8 | And that was meant to give everybody a little bit of hope. |
