It’s Monday again.
As the first phase of Ireland’s Covid-19 recovery strategy kicks off today, there are long lines outside hardware shops and garden centres, smatterings of socially distanced friends hanging out, and a small sense of optimism.
There are also movies on TV this evening, and we’ve picked out a few of the best for your perusal.
