A lockdown cheese sandwich!

Ardencote it was clearly meant to amuse and thank you for trying.

It’s a joke! Duh!

Artdecogran don’t you dare go into a corner! Keep on posting. It’s cheered us all up. Doom and gloom might be around the corner, but we need light relief where we can find it.
Keep it up, please

Ellen, why is making a cheese sandwich serious? I am a widow and live on my own. I have 2 out of 3 dear daughter in laws who work on the frontline in NHS hospitals. I have a dear son who works on public transport. I have a new grandson born by caesarean on 2 April, still waiting to see if he and his mother have escaped the virus. I am crippled with pain and trying to cope without any assistance. I would like to curl up and die in a corner but I am trying very very hard to keep my chin up and keep going. I just tried to think of something amusing to share. Perhaps it was stupid and futile. So I’ll say no more and go and cry in my little corner.

It's probably how front-line workers are driven to doing, not those who are comfortably watching the news.

I wouldn't be making a joke out of something serious either !!
@ Laughterlines.

Sense of humour failure by some ?

Artdecogran. Should your tricky sandwich making/eating ever compel you to look for a 'plastic bib with a trough at the bottom' .........they are called Pelican Bibs !

Laughed at your post. Each action describes how my poor brain struggles to cope with all unnecessary hand washing - and fails every time. Simple tasks can take forever. ( Still, a couple more months and I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.)

Artdecogran Now you have got to go out and buy another box of gloves.

Ellanvannin, I’m a bit confused about what/why you posting on this thread. It was supposed to be tongue in cheek about the confusion of preparing a simple sandwich in these days of food coming in fresh from the supermarket. Hence the gloves. It was as long winded and as difficult as I could think up. Not actually something I had done.

Gawd ! I was stating a fact that some medics have written about. It contained children being allowed to make mud pies, and generally getting themselves dirty.
What was wrong with my post ?

Glad one poster understands !

Not jam ! Marmalade ! And a bib. I always fancied one of those plastic bibs with a trough at the bottom.

I would Sodapop that jam can travel for miles onto an unsuspecting worktop

I don't like cheese, what do I do ? Don hazmat suit for jam butty prep.

ON not in

Glove in one hand only.

We still have the 3 second rule for any food that falls onto the floor, and we’ve lived to tell the tale....... so far.

In normal households, however -

Wash hands
Butter bread
Put cheese on bread
Eat the damned thing
Wash hands

Gaunt47, no just very lazy. As I’m disabled I always think things through first to find the quickest way to do things. Seems I’m also able to find the long way of doing things too. Who’d a thunk it. ?

? know what you mean Artdecogran
My head and world seems to have turned upside down?

Great post artdecogran Were you ever a time and motions officer?

Full marks for those of you who got it! It was just a humorous (I had hoped) thought about the muddle of making something simple these days.

Tongue in cheek post - I know the virus is serious!

Am I the only one who can remember, in my childhood days, the odd roast potato (or similar piece of food) falling off the spoon when being served up and falling onto the floor?
All Mum or Dad used to do was pick it up, check no dust etc and whack it back onto whatever plate it was destined for!
We survived!
Oh and sandy sandwiches at the beach at summer picnics!
Could the OP be posting a bit tongue in cheek too?
