State of Emergency, Coronavirus (part 2)

[Caw1]

Love the cats Groom made me laugh... much needed at the moment.

Sadly we've had to close our village hall for all events for the foreseeable future... cuts the heart right out of the village when so many gather for table tennis, Yogalates, circle dancing, short mat bowls, WI etc etc. Loss of revenue too.. only up side is we'd planned to have the wooden floors sanded and revarnished and we're finding it hard to get a weeks space... now they'll have all the time in the world!
 Still keep smiling the weather is cheerful, the birds are singing and the shops still have wine left 🍷🥂🍾

I've got a terrible confession. I went out to a local small supermarket to get salad for the next 3 nights and my favourite wine was on special offer, £1 off per bottle so I had to panic buy and get 6.

The toilet roll panic is quite simple.
We have been asked to cough or sneeze into our elbows, therefore people need lots of toilet paper because most people can't tell their arse from their elbow.
:

I thought it was because whenever one person sneezes, 10 others have a slight accident.

Our wonderful local Co-op had soap in stock today

Martin - shame on you but I do hope you enjoy your tipple.

On the subject of animal toileting I have just asked my dog about this. He thinks that humans are wasting their money buying toilet rolls and cats are totally disgusting licking their rear parts.
His preferred method is dragging his bottom along a carpet or rug. Much more hygienic in his opinion. 

Oh well each to his own !!!!!

Nick seems to be very knowledgeable about a lot of things

Preparing for an emergency and/or isolation was a fundamental part of my childhood. Where we lived made it essential.

Crumbs, I can't remember Ipswich being that exciting and edgy in the 1970s.....

Groom’s photo reminds me of the old story about
the inventor of the “cat’s eyes” reflectors used in
roads who is said to have got his inspiration for
the invention when his car headlights picked out
a cat fin the road facing his car at night.
This is said to be an example of serendipity.
If the cat had been facing the other way he would
only have invented the pencil sharpener!

As for not mingling, I have every intention of going to bowls each week, to allow OH some respite from having me around all the time

Many of the indoor clubs around our way have now closed down until further notice.

What's a shower gel?
