Apparently social distance is
Two metres
Or six foot six inches in old money.
But I utilise a common object.
A spade,
As in the garden tool
That we dig holes, trenches and graves with.
The whole spade of course
From hand worn, wooden handle and weather worn shaft
To the curved metal blade.
It is useful to have something tangible
If a little unwieldy to carry around.
However the upside is that
When one does carry around a garden spade
Be it on the road or in a shop
Others naturally keep their distance.
