At times like these, I REALLY wish I hadn't seen so many Horror/ Dystopian/ Zombie Apocalypse box sets on Netflix.
As recent news images started to flash onto our screens like the opening titles of 'Dawn of the Dead', my brain automatically fast-forwarded to those inevitable scenes just before the closing credits start to roll. I've read enough books and seen enough drama of this genre to know how it will end; with me probably having to engage in an unspeakable sex act with some gormless trolleyboy behind the 'Click and Collect', in exchange for a packet of Cream Crackers!
My hubby, who was full of big talk about 'self sufficiency' and home grown tomatoes a couple of weeks ago, is already rapidly losing the plot, so make no mistake about it - when the shit hits the fan, it'll be down to me to do whatever I have to do for the family. Even if the selfish bastards don't particularly deserve it! With a bit of luck, we have a long way to go before it comes to that. I have decided therefore, that if I blog about my more immediate concerns that it'll serve to keep my imagination in check.
So Boris announced the Lockdown and it wasn't unexpected. Like most people, I have so many concerns and questions about the coming weeks …………
Will I manage to avoid filing for divorce or putting my kids up for adoption? How long exactly could I get my leg hair to grow if I really put my mind to it? How am I going to ensure that at any one time I have a spare toilet roll, at least one unopened bottle of wine and an item coated in chocolate in the house?
Sorry guys. Some of you of you have told me that you've tried to leave a comment. I'm working on it so please keep trying!
ReplyDeleteI think that if people want to comment they have to go through google chrome ����
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Lisa. It's annoying but please keep trying x
DeleteSadly, this is my actual life. Brilliant. Keep them.coming xxx
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone! Feel free to share your challenges. I'm aiming to post every day throughout 'Lockdown' so need all the inspiration I can get! X
DeleteHAHA this was great! How do you feel about those questions now?
ReplyDeleteThanks Brigit. I haven't started googling divorce lawyers and we've decided to keep the kids and the cat. Due to the hot weather, I've had to keep my leg hair under control and my eyebrows are yet to meet in the middle. Oh and I haven't had to compromise my morals in order to get groceries so that's a bonus!
ReplyDeleteComing from a third world country, even though it's lockdown, offices are open because well, people has to earn.
ReplyDeleteAnd majority of people don't abide by the health rule when they go out to work.
Teenagers and young adults have already started eating out and vacationing. Because school is closed lmao.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one staying home in lockdown.
This sounds very similar to the situation here in the UK. We're getting lots of mixed messages from the government. Many people are carrying on like everything's normal then the next thing they know, cities are going back into lockdown because the infection rate rises.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I know the feeling! We arent in lockdown here, but We stay at home and away from everyone since it started here in March. Let me tell you, my ONE kid drives me crazy!!! Not sure how other pare ts do it with multiple kids. I totally ran out of ideas on what to do with a 3 year old and my house gets cleaned about 10 times a day. Love your sarcasm!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Much appreciated! It can be harder when you have one kid to keep occupied. Occasionally siblings entertain each other so that you get a brief respite (even though it invariably ends in bloodshed).
