...would you have to take to a desert island with you.

Imagine Tesla's system worked and electricity was no problem and that there is plenty of food and water.

You can't take a lappy, phone or any other way of contacting people or more importantly Amazon.

Is the vaseline because you expect to be constipated?
I'm glad to read of your other two items as you could always work it out with a pencil.

Sorry but I’ll really, really need a hammer, inside the handle will be nails, screws and a saw.

Can we take 10 items? Only I want to take my sewing machine

I’m going to build me a sailing boat. You can all help, bring your own lifebelt.

Oh and I’ll need to bring a lifebelt......with a little whistle and a torch, so handy.

Why are you building a boat ? Are you desperate to leave this desert island oopsadaisy3
Its lovely here. Its virus free and the Sun's shining. You've got your sewing machine to amuse you what more could you want grin

I was going to say I’d be happy to stay, for the time being anyway, till I just noticed that we have “plenty of food and water”, when I’d assumed “food and drink”.... Is there no wine cellar then?

Oopsadaisy, pass me that hammer!

Oopsadaisy3 Tue 17-Mar-20 10:36:54

I’m not building the boat to escape May it’s for something to do, then I , or anyone who has helped me to build it can come out for a trip around the island.

Who knows maybe we will find like minded people with chocolate and wine,

I too am concerned that food doesn’t cover chocolate and cake.

Note to management........
