Trying to keep our spirits up ! Coping strategy ( lighthearted )

I only go to parties to meet gorgeous men. Aren’t there any on here ? Doodle. Have you driven them away in your chariot ?

With my chariot gaunt I can bring a whole crate. ? cheers.

Doodle can you cut over to the bar in your chariot and bring us back a bottle of something sparkly please?

jane you look wonderful as a Christmas tree and so sparkly with all those lights but what on earth possessed you to have a cat on top of your head instead of a star ?? ?

It's wonderful here under the Grandsnet glitter ball - boogie the night away ladies! I'm disappointed Jane won't be able to give us her saxophone solo.
Gemini that dress is dazzling, you are indeed our guiding light.

I'm doing my best to smarten up. DH has made me put on my dark green onesie and wound the Christmas lights round my plaster casts. If DGS accidentally video calls I'll look reassuring and remind him of his favourite time of year. Sorted!

Party, fantastic. As I am self isolating I am coming as That chariot in Ben Hur, the one with the spikes on the wheels to keep people at bay. Neigh!

Sorry for delay , was getting the drinks ready.
You sure about that dress ? Better puts some undies on ( you know what you’re like ? ?) There are holes in that crochet ! ? D’you like my sequinned number ? I borrowed it from the Pussycat Dolls. Now where are my shoes ?

Is the party a come as you are? I'm wearing the black blanket, sewn up the side to make a mini dress.

Grammaretto ...... ???
A cow in Gemini Towers ! Brilliant idea.
She could live in the far paddock (?) with Gertrude . I don’t want her mooing early in the morning when her udders are full. You know the feeling !

What’s goin’ on ? What’ve I missed ?
It’s Saturday night. Let’s have a party.
Most of the fun is getting ready of course. Glad you’re smartening up , Jane. (Standards ! ? )
What are you gonna wear tonight ?

grammareto . I was reading that so seriously till I came to the punch line .
callistemon are you suggesting that Gemini Towers gets its own cow? I think that’s a brilliant idea and we can all take turns in milking (well except for jane10 of course in her current predicament ?‍♀️). I could knit some undies to keep her udder warm. Can we have one gemini please? ?

Mind you, the cows do need to be milked every day

DH has just had an email from M&S Food suggesting items that can be frozen, eg milk and cheese.
They'll be the next items to disappear off the shelves here as everyone panics and stockpiles them.

I'm catching up on this thread
Did you hear that in Germany they are stockpiling sausage and cheese rather than toilet rolls?
It's the wurst käse scenario!

Gaunt it's big enough for everyone to isolate underneath.

Oh dear. DGS has discovered video WhatsApp calls. Think he had a fright suddenly seeing me in all my manky glory. No point in dressing up or make up or hair brushing. I'll really have to smarten up in case of video calls now. Unforseen snag of modern technology.

I could hardly get through the door for Callistemon's crochet.
Ginny I love the idea of wearing a silly hat today, perhaps Callistemon could crochet a few. I'm useless at that sort of thing.
I'm going to be baking for tomorrow's coffee morning - any requests?

Ok on with the knit and natter group. callistemon make yourself comfy in the armchair and here’s a slice of cake and a for you. That crochet of yours is getting bigger by the minute. Keep going and we can use it as a carpet on the floor.
faye you are more than welcome. How about knitting some fancy cup cakes. That would be fun ?. Just watch out for jane she keeps turning round and knocking people out with her plaster casts.
So what is everyone up to today?

Not sure of the need for timetable I wouldn't normally live like that! I just hav a list of things I like doing to go to if I get down or 'bored' (never let my children use that word). Today I polished each nail (all 10) different colours then joined an online jazz workshop wearing a silly hat for Saturday just enjoying life and doing whatever I like.

Thankyou Gaunt 47 - couldn't call myself a baker but have been known to knit a few treats

It's not the first time we have been mixed up.

Yes, cake should soothe me, thank you very much
I could fall asleep in that lovely chair.

Grammaretto how did I miss the second walk-in closet?
I was overdue an optician's appointment and it's not going to happen now for some time.

Well I enjoyed the coffee break, but did Mr Doodle really have to have a third slice? Doodle I hope his interview for a security guard at Sainsbury's goes well. He is a fine figure of a man.
faye17 of course you can join in, knitting and baking skills are optional but they help in a frivolous sort of way....

Don't know if this is the appropriate thread for this but here goes-
When I messaged my son a week ago to say that I wouldn't be taking our 18month old grandson from that day on as we were self- isolating his reply was ' Okay, just leave him out on the front step & we'll collect him '
My wonderful son - his sense of humour never fails to lift me

2 walk-in closets Callistemon !!
