It's been a tough few months for everyone.
Since a new strand of Coronavirus first emerged in December 2019, our lives have been completely upheaved.
But, as the number of daily infections decreases and lockdown measures are gradually lifted, we asked ourselves what the markers of this time will be, years into the future, when we look back.
Many of them, I'm sure we can all agree, we'll be glad not to revisit.
First up?
1 - Coronavirus hairdos
Blessed will be the day when haidressers can open again. There are probably more man buns in the world right now than when hot yoga became all the rage in San Fran.
While wise men opted for the buzzcut...
... Others freestyled, to varying degrees of terrible results.
2 - Banana bread
Remember when there was a shortage of flour, eggs and sugar, but every second post on your IG feed was someone's BEST EVER BANANA BREAD Recipe?
3 - Not knowing what day it is
Though we've all appreciated Simon Hulstone's daily Groundhog day posts, won't it be nice when Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays don't feel exactly the same?
4 - Zoom everythings
Everybody likes an excuse to spend a day in their boxers, but the epidemic has had drastic consequences on what we perceive to be formal clothing... Like trousers, or socks
And just how much would we all do for pints in the pub with our friends?
But doing everything on Zoom hasn't all been bad, especially given that its virtual background functionality let's you do this...
And results in things like this:
5 - Socially distant queues
Gone are the days of just nipping to the shop for a pint of milk. Now all the spontaneity has been sucked out of shops...
6 - Excessive hygiene regimes
As hospitality professionals, we don't need telling how
