Some folk have had the good fortune to spend some lockdown time in temperate climes.
One such is our San Francisco based correspondent who happened to wangle 8 weeks in Hawaii over Christmas and New Year - soaking up the rays and watching the world surfing championships.
He also sent this picture as evidence of some mushroom snacks that he chanced upon in the local supermarket.
The mesquite barbeque flavoured mushroom-shaped bites, made from thick cut mushrooms. As the blurb on the pack says - Savor the mind-blowing flavor of Shrooms.
Our correspondent did not report any mind bending properties!
