How are we getting through it?

[Norm]

The grand kids have sent us their paintings of rainbows (in the UK all the youngsters are painting rainbows and displaying them in windows - is that happening anywhere else?), so tonight, I dug out the watercolours and painted up a couple of similar, put a message on for the grand kids and in the morning will post to both households as there are still daily collections from the post box.

I sent some sweets a couple of weeks ago ...... resulting in embarrassment as one of the packages (they were both identical!) got withheld by Royal Mail until the excess postage was paid .... ooops!  in the end, it all turned out dearer than the sweets! I should have just ate them .... like I did the Easter Eggs

[Steve J]

Loads of rainbows in the windows around here, which is nice to see.

[paulr]

Some rainbows and other drawings but mainly teddy bears and similar soft toys in the windows here, so young kids can do teddy bear hunts on their walks

Our PM declared the Easter bunny an essential worker but did explain that they may have trouble reaching some houses due to the restrictions

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

There is a decorated wall over the road, each brick chalked a different colour...and rainbows in most windows.

With us being on top of the PPE production for the first time in 3 weeks, I can put my attention to something else for a change!  So, I'll be spending the next few hours carefully checking and cleaning up 100's of Japanese figures for production moulds...!

Doing all that lot its more likely to be wanting  to commit Seppuku:D (Please Don't)

Here's how some New Zealiand ladies are getting through it

[paulr]

I hope they realise a lot of NZ now knows where at least one of them lives

I recognised my old home town pretty quickly and one of the shots includes a fairly obvious landmark

Good on them 

I don't want to know why all four have matching ABBA outfits

That's really good to hear - on both parts.

The celebrations for Captain (now honorary Colonel) Tom provide a moment of pleasure during these diffcult times. Thank God common sense prevailed and the Spitfire and Hurricane flypast was allowed to go ahead. Not only has he raised a phenomenal amount of money, but still going strong at 100 is amazing. It has cheered me up today and I hope others too.

[Techno]

YEP !! 

Cheers - Phil

Yep that was a real good one. He deserves the honours he has been given.

I enjoyed watching it on the NZ news first thing this morning.

Well done, that man

[Techno]

Hear, Hear !....

I look forward to the Beeb's re-run of the Blankety Blank* show he was in. Recorded sometime in the eighties, apparently.

Cheers - Phil

* A rather silly quiz show, for those of you who don't live in the UK, or are too young to remember.

Just a TAD understated there Phil !!

[Techno]

Well....It was done on the cheap*....and the prizes weren't a lot of cop.

Cheers - Phil.

* Now THAT'S an understatement.

What was worse was it was originally presented by the absolutely awful (other opinions are available- but not from me  ) Terry Wogan

[Raider4]

The worse things are that a) when it started there were only 3 channels to choose from, and b) you almost certainly only had one TV in the house.

So if your parents wanted to watch Blankety Blank - and it was on at prime-time in the evening - you had the choice of either watching it with them or retiring to your bedroom.

What about Les Dawson and Larry Grayson ?
