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

Gemini thanks, I think I got the harmonies right. But sorry I was half a bar behind everyone, I was literally singing in the shower and noticed the time just a tad late.
I hate getting my hair wet so at 3pm I'll be putting on a shower cap and waving my arms about and making splashing noises.

That's a very upsetting place to be Houdini - sorry my jolly post followed that - I hope you feel better soon.

I am going to empty out the cupboard under the bathroom sink, clean it, and sort out the old toiletries. There! Anyone envious? My house will be immaculate at the end of this.
A 'Whatsapp' yesterday that made me laugh so much:

'Your grandparents were called to fight in World Wars. You are being asked to wash your hands and sit on the sofa'.

At the moment i just have the energy to get out of bed and go to the toilet.I am a asthmatic and have been told by the clinician that rang me back from 111 than rang my doctor .Who rang me back that if my systoms get any worse do not call 111 but 999 and tell them potential coronavirus patient

Patsy70 You have given me a brilliant idea… Virtual swimming

The thing I hate about swimming (apart from the fact that it’s exercise ) is that not only do you get freezing cold but you get water in your eyes and on your glasses. You have to dress in the most ridiculous garments and you have to take your kit off in front of everyone else but .....you have given me the perfect thing - virtual swimming!

Anyone else coming for a dip at 3 o’clock this afternoon?

You have to sit in your armchair and wave your arms around a bit but it’s not too strenuous. If you want to you can dress in a yellow polka dot thingy but it’s not compulsory.

Well I have time for a quick post before Tai Chi. I I love tai chi because in my case it just means waving to my neighbour over the garden wall.
Dancing queen went so well it carried on into PT hour. Good job spy cam was turned off. The sight of none too slim OP jogging in her oversized Sloggis could have gone viral on You Tube.
Gaunt47 was an absolute star. I could hear her from my garden . She knows all the words.
Quizzer don’t be miserable! ? Gareth Malone ( my guru ) says everyone can sing. He doesn’t know that I was chucked out of the choir at primary school for not keeping in tune. And that at high school I was spent most of the time in the cloakroom next to the music room because she threw me out for talking during the Trout by Schuman or Schubert or somebody . If you join my choir you can choose the next song.

I started the day with a lengthy discussion between me, myself and I as to whether I should tackle the washing or the washing up first.

I caught a cold last week. A PERFECTLY NORMAL COMMON OR GARDEN COLD and have absolutely no energy.

Got both seen to and am now printing out the user's manual for my new phone, which I hope will arrive, as promised, today.

I drowned my old one in fruit juice, one day when I started coughing while pouring a glass.

Thank you Lucca. That made me chuckle.

Glad I don't live next door to Gemini. Opera in the garden at 7 am. I would have to break my no swearing resolutions.

You're going to be popular with the neighbours if you sing opera at 7am in the garden!

well you made me laugh here

friday morning when I got here.
just back from visiting our local Asda to an hour or two of designated time for self isolators

what a laugh,, it was packed.. and still trollerys, the deep ones, over flowing...

but I got my paracetomol, so I won`t complain.

now what can I do?

Today I should be at yoga. We've all agreed to get our mats out and all do our yoga at home at the usual time. We'll I'm not. I'm skiving!! So naughty. After yoga we usually all go to a cafe for a coffee and chat. I'll happily join the virtual coffee and chat session at 11.
This a strange kind of freedom.

I have such good intentions but enthusiasm is dwindling - however cupboard clearance is top of the list.

No thanks, although I will listen to what Boris has to say, and then thank God that Corbyn isn't PM.

This might make people laugh.

This is a very good thread to cheer us up. I love to go out and meet friends etc. and I volunteer at a charity shop, so will miss doing those things. At least we can still go for long, if isolated, walks with our dog. According to my sister in Spain, the police told them when they went to the laundry and butchers that they could not go out together! I've got a few jobs for my OH: decorate a bathroom; jetwash the patio;chop up an old bench; help dig out a new border in the garden - I'll think of some more . He usually goes to the gym and swims twice a week, as well as archery and ukulele club and he's missing the interaction. I love gardening, so will be focusing on that, as well as thoroughly cleaning the house, getting rid of those stubborn cobwebs! OH has started to teach me to play the ukulele - he also plays mandolin and guitar, so there's plenty of music in our house. I've thought of playing Scrabble remotely with my 2 sisters, one in Devon and one in Spain, so will investigate how to do that. There are lots of long phone chats with family and friends. In fact, I feel very fortunate, but so sorry for how this is affecting people on their own, those with small businesses etc.

Nanna58 think of the exercise !
You let the old dog out ,
The old dog in ,
the old dog out and you shake it all about.
You do the okey cokey and you turn around.
That’s what it’s all about. ???

Doodle ! We are socially distancing at the mo otherwise you would be very welcome at the Towers !
However your knit and natter skills will be a godsend after all that exercise in the morning. The virtual class will start at 2 as you said. What are we knitting ?

My poor dog has possible urine infection (on antibiotics) and wees constantly so my schedule like this: 7am get up 7.01 let dog out then in. 7.15 : tea, then let dog out and in. 7.30 breakfast: 7.32 let dog out then in....aaand continue!!!

jane10 there is no need to be rude about my posterior. ?

Oh BlueSapphire I really fancied a glass of sherry this evening - not a drop in the house! ☹️
I’ll be there at 9am.
Thanks for this thread Gemini.

Avast behind!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum?

Hello sailor! Jane10, just for you I will wear my captains hat and shout ahoy there on occasions ?
