Your best lockdown moment

I have had hours of entertainment just following some of the (less technical) threads, as well as being informed about all things California.
I have a mental picture of the posters; of course, I have no idea if my picture corresponds with the actuality as the only photos that I have seen are Granny Jen and Amarillo.

Oh don't take any notice of my pics

I normally steal them off one of those dubious websites

How do you do that? (I don't have an 11 year old handy to show me).

1st one could be GrannyJen but the 2nd doesn't look a bit like Amarillo.

Try adding a beard.

I don't have a beard

More hair I would have thought.

Sadly not. I’m having to cut it myself with my beard trimmer - and there is an ever increasing bald patch on top, set to collide with the receding hairline later this year.

Who is using my picture?

 

[Velma's Dad]

I don't need to post a sketch. My forum avatar is a recent passport photo. (But I am not a cat, and I have the authority).

Taking a leaf out of Granny Jen's book, are you?

You’ve had a nose job and face transplant since your Spring 2018 avatar.

and another amazing lockdown moment .....

A proofreader has just returned my latest (and last) manuscript without half the worlds supply of red ink being pasted all over it,.

Either she has gone totally lockdown-loopy or my grammar's improved with lockdown

Now, time to trim my goatee .....

Well done

Just for a yardstick

I've only managed a few haircuts, you've trumped me.

My daughter cut mine, another 2 weeks and I reckon I could be seen without a hat.

Note for next time, make sure the plastic length gauge is securely fitted to clippers.

I understand your pain. I did most of mine myself but I asked Ben to help with the hard to reach places. They still look a notch or two shorter.

Best bit of lockdown has been sledging this week, and having a snowball fight with the kids!
Last summer we did enjoy spending a lot of time just parking the Cali at the harbour in our village, and using it as a base for the day. The boys would puddle about in rockpools or on kayaks and I could relax with a book or my knitting and a cup of tea! (we have avoided getting a tv for the van, as the whole idea was to tear the teenagers away from their screens for a bit).

It was pointed out to me this week that during Lockdown #2 leaving the home for recreation was permitted, but that is absent from the list of reasonable excuses during this lockdown

My reply was “why are park playgrounds open?”

I really don’t know if sledging or snowball fights are a reasonable excuse for leaving home, but like you, our boys have been enjoying both.

We’ve been given a pair of 50 year old sleds. They go like a bullet.

Buying and starting to learn Piano and not having to shake hands with people!

Doing the same in this lockdown.

Never thought I could learn music or play the piano and really enjoying it.

Gone for a piano like keyboard hooked up to an online teaching programme.

Some great lifetime deals.
