Sir, – Due to the pandemic, Michael Harding is missing the conversations he used to have with strangers ("Talking to strangers. That's what I miss", Life, January 20th). Hopefully he can soon resume such wonderful random chats, but does this mean that he will no longer need to talk to trees or stare at lakes? – Yours, etc,
MIKE MORAN,
Clontarf,
Dublin 3.
