What colour should I paint Austrian houses for 1809?  I know this is a Virus thread, but I'm going to stuck at home with them for the next few days...

(They are Hobbycraft Christmas houses)
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

I was speaking with one of the check out people at Asda yesterday, she'd said she had a women through the lane earlier with three kids, who had taken them out of school & was self-isolating as they'd all got something cough-ish related.
So she'd taken them shopping...

Here we have a little hose next to the loo to clean ourselves up. Saves a lot of loo roll, though a bit still gets used.

I really wanted one of those when we had our bathroom redone but wouldn't fit without a lot of expensive replumming.  :(

I mean if things get really bad there's always a rag and a shower... X_X

Also recommend the bidet attachments - very simple installation. I like having a control panel on the John - I pretend I'm riding a jet ski.

Outstanding Norm.

Great idea - let's fight the selfish ignorance with kindness and thoughtfulness - start Chocolate Bombing Supermarket Staff now!  :D :D :D :D :D

I don't do international travel so can't really gauge home grown behaviour v the rest of the world.

Apparently the Americans are stocking up on guns & ammo, rather than bog rolls & pasta. Obviously they have different priorities . . .

I was in a small Tesco express this morning, the staff are always quite bubbly, but today the manager just looked fed up - no doubt burned out by fellow mankind!

I added some posh chocs to my shop and then on the way out asked him to put them in the staff room, just as a token gesture to help balance out the experiences of dealing with selfish morons. He looked a bit taken aback, which tells it's own tale!. Is it just us! (The Brits!). I don't do international travel so can't really gauge home grown behaviour v the rest of the world.

In other news! In my bubble, six vehicles are getting some love and attention, as are some Russian village buildings.

Yep. with Gunns and ammo, you solve your shortages as anyone without a gun and ammo has to give you their loo roll and pasta....or anything else they have , that you are short of.

Just back from a visit to our butchers and Lidl. Neither have any chicken (but butchers plenty of other meat) and the latter completely out of bread and most tinned foods. Fresh fruit and veg in abundance. Why are people still panic buying? God only knows!
