A lockdown cheese sandwich!

Good for the diet though.

Hurrah! I'm Nanny, must nip off to Norland for a crash course and a nice brown uniform and hat

artdecgran no huddling in a corner for you! By Decree, you're going to be moved into a Round House

Haha, I'm late to this thread and was laughing my socks off picturing the sandwich making rigmarole!

It reminded me a bit of this comical video that I saw posted somewhere a couple of weeks ago.

Lovely, sodapop - he might want to take advantage of one of Callis dicky bibs in order to bring a welcome touch of class to the gathering and I'm sure she'll be taking orders after this nightmare period in our lives is over. Jane43 you sound as if you could be better employed working on a vaccine.....with all that experience!!!!!!!
I look in my diary, MM and it confirms my title of Billy No Mates. Have a super afternoon all, you've given me and my DH a great laugh. x

Oh, I’ll put it in the diary! There seems to be rather a lot of blank space in there at the moment, for some reason!

Ah yes, the good old days when we had no fridge and certainly no freezer or dishwasher. We used to have to spoon the lumps off milk in the warm weather, scrape the mould off jam and cheese and the Sunday joint was used up on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. One of my Dad’s favourite sayings was, “You’ll eat mor dirt than that before you die.”

Sounds like a plan to me GrandmaFrench shall I bring my husband to help with the catering ?

So pleased we resolved that. The plan is:
Big post lockdown meal where food lovers can get together.
I shall bring a van load of pelican bibs in co-ordinating colours (natch!). Also some very large napkins for tying around the neck for all those bringing bosoms. As a non food thrower, Beechnut you are very welcome but may need a dust sheet ? Sodapop gets to sit far away from any soup or gravy. ArtD won’t do the catering since we may not live that long and anyway, like MM she will be too busy entertaining new ? baby! How wonderful, Congratulations! Calli ( she who knows lots about posh babies) can oversee the bun fight/select gathering. I shall put it in the diary. Maybe Soop’s kitchen will have a table.

Never less than the best for my DC, Grandmafrench!

I’m a non well turned out big person who spills everything. I don’t throw my food though.

My danger zone seems to be the bosom while brushing my teeth. A bib would definitely help.

Yes definitely a pelican bib for me too. I can't eat a meal without dropping some thing down my front. Soup and gravy are real danger zones for me.

We enjoyed your post Artdecogran keep going with the humour we need it.

Exactly, Grandmafrench ?

Wow, Calli what well turned out babies you had! A dickie bib is a collar and fake shirt front to tuck inside a jumper or suit jacket (I think). A pelican bib is for non well turned out little people who spill everything down their fronts whilst learning to feed themselves/throw food ! ?

Thank you, Callistemon!

Congratulations on the new arrivals both of you!

I always though they were called Dickie bibs

That sounds a bit suspect, best I do go to bed now

Thank you, Artdecogran, some smiles after a looooong day

Don’t even think of leaving, Artdecogran. Plenty of us found your post amusing and goodness knows we can all do with a smile these days. And good on you for keeping your chin up in your circumstances.

Congratulations too on your new grandson. I have one too, born just after yours also by C section, so I understand and share your anxiety. These are very strange and difficult times.

I may go and sneak a bit more as DH has gone to bed.

Thank you, I’ll go to bed with a smile now. Good night all.

Artdecogran DH asked if there was any chocolate in the house and I told him it was self-isolating with the other shopping on one side of the cupboard!

However, I reckoned that, as it arrived on Friday, it was safe to eat and I let him have some. I'm very kind (thought he may have forgotten it).

It’s probably because of overly clinical homes that has added to the death rate

WTF?

Artdecogran, don't go, I enjoyed your post and would enjoy reading more of them
Humour is a strong medicine ?
