Trying some new brews

I'm at the virtual pub again with my mate, trying some new beers from Lidl that I haven't tried before, very nice. I now have a nice warm glow.
It is coming up for a year next month that we have been doing this virtual pub ritual, I have only seen him once in that time actually in a garden visit in our gazebo. It's all very strange. 
And one of our best friends who we have known for 42 years has just died of Covid. It is so sad.
