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

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!

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.

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

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? ?

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 ?

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 !

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

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 ?

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!

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!

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.

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 ?? ?

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

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

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

I didn't mean to have the cat on my head. He just got excited when DH turned the lights on my plaster casts to the ripple effect. I wouldn't mind but this wig cost a fortune and I'm not sure it's the right way round. His claws are digging in. Owwww

I've noticed a couple of people mentioning the YouTube cut your own hair video where you pull it all up in a ponytail, cut it, and it's supposed to look like a layered haircut.

I tried it a couple of years ago (can't remember why).
JUST DON'T. Seriously. It was bad. Took an age to grow out. Hairdresser just laughed.

Spring is beautiful. Lots of daffodils, Magnolias, etc., birds singing, green shoots coming and sun shining. Nobody can take that away from us. I just counted over 40 books waiting to be read.

I just read than in approximately 3 weeks the real colour of most womens' hair will become apparent!!

Last night’s party was the last straw. Gemini Towers’ timetable has to admit defeat. ( Thank goodness ! It was rather hectic. ) Thanks to everyone who took part. I am sticking with the knit and knot or whatever it’s called and of course the coffee breaks - as long as someone makes a cake. ??

Jane , if you turn on that spy cam I sent you , my hair colour will show its natural colour. I had to stop colouring it when the dyes made my head itch back in the days when the world was young and I was carefree and covid was only in Dean Koontz’ imagination. !

Sorry Gemini but is Doodle still slumped in the corner?
We could all exercise in the virtual back garden later this afternoon - I've made bean bags from the only product I could find on the supermarket shelves: dried kidney beans.

There’s foot sticking out behind the sofa. Is that her ? I’ll give it a pull .
Yes it is Doodle. I’ll force her out this afternoon..We will be using baked beans for bean bags ( left over from kids’ visits ?)
See you there.

gemini I was just trying to get the balls of wool out from under the sofa. The cat was playing with them after she got tired of sitting on jane’s head.
Yes we could do with some exercise.
Ouch!! I appreciate the effort you put into making the bean bags gemini but would it not have been an idea to take the beans out of the tin before you made them!!! ?

Sorry Doodle . Didn’t think.
Phew ! Need a rest now. Speak later.
