CANARYKING 634 Posted April 22, 2020 Painted the fence, painted the shed inside and out, painted the window frames, painted the pebble dash, painted the garden furniture, painted the kitchen, painted the lounge. Oh to be able to go to pub on Friday night, oh for a game of snooker, oh to be sat in front of the tv at four o’clock on a Sunday, oh for a walk on the beach but most of all oh to be back at Carrow Road again. Forgot what normal life was like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try wandering around with a clipboard, nodding sagely an making the odd note to self. If questioned, say you are doing a time and motion study to help Improve your efficiency and efficacy. The big bluff with this tactic is that no one can truly judge whether or not it worked for you, but the illusion created by the clipboard and humming n harring is normally enough for saner types to leave you to it. Never let me down in six years Military service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This lockdown lark is tough graft. 😎 Must admit I'm quite enjoying it. Luckily I can work from home, no wasted time commuting, plenty of time to ride my bike on deserted roads. Even started to like Piers Morgan and Good Morning Britain. I think the **** is still to hit the fan but for now I'll enjoy the new normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted April 22, 2020 Bought a new gas barbecue a week ago but the wind and mizzle made it a bit dodgy to use. But tonight we are going for it. As I speak Mrs KG is skewering the Pork and Peppers for the Kebabs. Not bothering with alcohol tonight though. Staying with the soft drinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
