Gardening during the pandemic

[Anniekay]

What did you look like during the pandemic out shopping for your gardening supplies? I wore a mask because there were so many people coughing and hacking, sneezing and snuffling, that, even if the mask didn't work for keeping coronavirus out, at least it kept me dry !!

I' ll start:

Am I allowed to say just how much it suits you Annie. It's definitely a good way of scaring the germs away - they wouldn't dare to get round the gaping gaps at the sides. I reckon we all need one of those. It reminds me of our prime minister.

I know, I think it's just perfect for me. Most people couldn't look at me for long, they had to turn away. All the better to keep them from sneezing on me !!

Watch this space, I do believe that Zigs is, as we speak, searching for proof of his own deterrent for the same pandemic - you never know, you may not have to wait long

This is me in the cactus house dressed as a vodoo plague doctor. This was just as effective at keeping the virus at bay as a mask was. After all, trying to keep something the size of a virus out with as mask is the same as trying to stop a flea with a fishing net

I think there is actually a bit of a similarity to each face mask, but I haven't got my glasses on - are you both wearing your masks?

 

[Anniekay]

@Tetters, are you trying to say that Zigs and I look alike?

We had some shops, the ones still letting people in, who would take your temperature when you came in. Another who had a man at the door who escorted out anyone not wearing a mask.

I had a list of folk banned from my cactus shop that started off about the time of the "pandemic"

Can't find the list now but it included the prime minister and the lord mayor of London to start with

Goes without saying that the new prime minister is banned too

We still have jars of dried tomatoes that we grew from that year

You should've just invited them and made them wear masks

Years ago I worked for a bank. If anyone walked in wearing a crash helmet or a mask we hit the panic button. Suddenly folk were hitting the panic button when people walked in not wearing a mask

Over here at my bank, you had to use the Drive-through, then, if you wanted to get funds back from a check you were depositing you had to remove your mask so they could tell it was you !!

It's a good job that masks were less than useless against the virus then, otherwise everyone would be dead.

We had to get to know someone's voice if they were running a big account, you'd be speaking to them every day and transfering millions so you had to be sure who you were talking to. Every day I spoke to a lady called Jackie.

Years later, in a different job in a different town, I started working with a lady called Jackie. We'd never met before but we knew each other.

It was the same Jackie...
