Things I would never have thought I would want to say.

We have had a thread like this before, I think, but I'll never be able to find the previous one, so let's have another.

There was "I've finished washing the shopping", which came into our lives earlier this year. This week I've had another one - "I've got an appointment at the library to take my books back." Any more?

Today I've been asked by the GP surgery to take a photo of the infection I have. I never thought I would be trying to take a picture of the back of my leg.
It took quite a time to get the picture from my phone to laptop, attached to an email, sent and checked that it arrived.

Just waiting to learn how many more restrictions the government is placing on my freedom to move around and see people.

How are you?

No, really; how ARE you?

Never thought I wouldn't fancy browsing around the shops, it used to be my favourite pastime in town!

Mine too ?

Daughter to me: "Do I look okay in this mask?"

That is a cute mask.

Mmm, this chickpea flour pastry is actually quite tasty.....

Who put the milk bottles in the fridge without washing them first?

I think I'll bake a cake, something I haven't done for years. must look for some flour/butter/eggs/bread/toilet rolls when I go shopping.

How early can I go shopping to avoid the queues?

Don’t throw that black mouldy banana away, I can make some banana bread with it.

Kryptonite Sun 20-Sep-20 18:08:20

It's impossible to get any flour at all.

Specialist nurse: "Don't come anywhere near the hospital if you can possibly avoid it."

"We go to the live streamed Mass on Sunday."
Later on, "We need to book our seats for the public Mass on Sunday."

Which bag did I put my masks, plastic bag and hand sanitiser in?

Matelda Me too! Aren’t they good?

Have you washed your hands? (after taking in post, shopping, milk and parcels)

Pittcity Sun 20-Sep-20 16:06:50

That's the plan, Boris willing.....

Sawsage2 Sun 20-Sep-20 15:43:28

Will do what I want when I want to do it (with mask on)

MamaCaz Sun 20-Sep-20 15:42:40

"Mum has just WhatsApped me again."

(Mum being an 87 year old whose computer skills were, and still are, virtually non-existent!)

“You can only come to church if you phone up and prebook your seat. Otherwise you’ll have to watch it on Zoom”

Being asked what I was going into a building society for

"It's lovely to see you in the flesh"
Me to the Zumba Gold (female) instructor back in live classes after months of lockdown video classes (which were brilliant but just not the same as doing it live)

Ooh, nice mask!

I wonder what FH is going to wear to her party which may or may not of course happen, in 8 months time.

I think I may go for a rib knit dress with very very thin straps, over a white tshirt, I saw a perfect one in the summer. I hope it's back in stock in time for the party. X
