Most of thirty-one was spent in lockdowns or in a restricted environment, I spent a good chunk of it eating KFC crisps, and I haven’t eaten any since.
I think we all did, ate or drank a lot of things during the pandemic that we’d never bother with again. I had to throw out the old trainers I wore during the two years of restrictions, and I haven’t been able to stomach Pop-Tarts since. I used to walk in the nearby park every day, and now I rarely venture that way.
In a way, I have a certain personal fondness for some of those habits. Important moments of my life often go hand in hand with the colonel.
