The silver lining... Plusses from the 'panic'

Not a silver lining but at least something funny. There are so many people working from home it seems.

Nobody chooses to wallow in misery, nobody. Some people through no fault of their own have lower seretonin.

A professor on tv is undertaking a study on seratonin (sp?) and found that people with high levels recuperate faster and are less susceptible to diseases, so a good reason not to wallow in misery.

I used to be a worrier but trained myself out of it. Life is so much better now.

Just had another Silver Lining moment! My hairdresser is booked to cut my hair next week and I've been wondering about having it much shorter and realise that if I do I won't be seeing many people so if it's awful it really won't matter because hardly anyone will see it.

Of course, we could ignore Aldi’s offerings and blow our own trumpets.?

A MIG welder could always come in useful!

So glad Aldi wasn’t around when I was married to ex....he would have loved the aisle of weirdness

I'm not telling DH about the MIG welder, Lucca, he'll be hotfooting it off to Aldi!

It might make people less inclined to waste perfectly good food.

Good to see that you're posting again GabriellaG54. I've always enjoyed your posts.
We find ourselves in a frightening situation that we can't control, one silver lining is that we'll resort to the good old British sense of humour to get us through when appropriate.
Love the beard shaving comment, just what Mr P would say

Gabriella!

Lovely to see you.

A brand new trumpet will always be useful sometime so store one in your loft why not.

Lucca ???? wanders off to check I have a sufficiency of trumpets.

I love Aldi and especially the staff in my local store.I'm off to buy a Diving Suit whilst I can.

Silver Lining for me is it's making me get more organised in my life and home.

I have no fear of actually being in a plane but do have concerns about mixing with all and sundry at an airport. People are still flying from round the world into the UK for a stopover. Plans for 3 weeks time on hold and I'm only flying within the UK - hopefully.

Shops are not empty in South London. Quite the reverse. It is worse than the queues at Christmas and there is less stock available on the shelves as selfish people stockpile.

Plenty of spluttering to be heard as well.

Lucca
You're so right only in Aldi!

Not really lighthearted, but this is the one and only time that I'm ^pleased ^that I can't afford to go on holiday.

You are welcome GabriellaG54

In case anyone thinks I am a total misery, wet blanket or whatever here is something that made me cry laughing :
(Spoiler alert you need to be familiar with Aldi to appreciate it)

In light of recent panic buying UK supermarkets are imposing limits on Certain purchases :
Dunnes: 2 hand sanitisers, 24 toilet rolls max.

Tesco: 1 Hand sanitiser, 18 toilet rolls & 2kg rice.

Super Valu: 12 rolls toilet paper, 1Kg rice.

Aldi: 2 Trumpets, 1 diving suit & a MIG welder.

I can't do banking on my phone. So where is this character list?

Your eyesight must be better than mine!

Forgot...thanks Grammaretto ???
