My oldest son, Kimbo, takes his visits to Tesco very seriously.
Where he lives, in Kensington in central London, it's the epicenter of the UK's COVID-19 epidemic.
Best to take all precautions; n'est-ce pas? Stay safe darling boy!

A sense of humor is always good in times of trouble.
ReplyDeleteIt's the only way; laugh or cry!
DeleteThe government would not be pleased. Doesn't he realise how serious this is. He could get run over without eye holes and put intolerable strain on Our National Health Service.
ReplyDeleteHe was more worried about those viruses getting through the tiny eye holes. Luckily I was able to assure him that they're the size of ping pong balls.
DeleteGood cover. He definitely can't touch his face in that get up
ReplyDeleteOr see anything on the supermarket shelves.
DeleteI was wondering how he was doing earlier on today.
ReplyDeleteI've just Skyped him; he's doing OK.
DeleteGood for him. It is interesting how the residents of our richest areas are more directly affected than those in our poorer areas.
ReplyDeleteMore squashed together perhaps?
DeletePerhaps he can patent that PPE outfit and make his fortune?
ReplyDeleteI'm making them for £10 each.
DeleteVery funny. A picture like that could go viral.
ReplyDeleteIt might go virus, but not viral.
DeleteGreat idea. I will make one too. Don't want to take any chances.
ReplyDeleteThere'll soon be a run on cardboard boxes.
DeleteI'm going to get myself a burkha. That should do the job.
ReplyDeleteAre there any statistics re Burqa wearers catching COVID-19?
DeleteThought of you this morning. Saw a photo in an article on police re confusion on their interpretation of how to enforce lockdown measures.
ReplyDeleteThe photo was taken at Brighton beach. Two people, sitting on the pebbles, in the middle of nowhere, one else in sight - well, there was a dog in the middle distance and a guy wading out of the water. From a "safe" 2.5 m distance that police officer told them to get off the beach. No shit.
U
I saw that picture too; I'd have given them a good 'coshing'.
DeleteSome are taking that too far..when locals are told off for walking locally, even rural dwellers walking from home when they live near no-one.
DeleteHaven't they got proper crimes to investigate? There was a man in Weston-super-Mare who had parked up by some woods on the edge of town in order to take his dog for a walk and two cops challenged him asking condescendingly if he had read the government guidelines. Ridiculous!
DeleteA certain amount of 'common sense' is required. My son was stopped by the cops here yesterday. He showed them his bit of paper, they said it should have included the time (for which there was no box), and after a pleasant chat he went on his way.
DeleteYou always get jobsworths in all occupations. I am pleased to say that not all policemen are like this but the few give the many a bad name at the moment.
DeleteThe silly ones have been given bad instructions.
DeleteI hope you won't mind me saying this but your son has got a rather square head. Mind you he seems happy enough.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased you didn't also mention that he's bald; he's very sensitive about it.
DeleteI shall bear this disguise in mind if I find myself unable to recruit anyone to do my shopping.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it'll suit you.... it's unisex.
DeleteEven in this chaos, we still have to laugh.
ReplyDeleteNo need to become depressed.
DeleteCro you are not to drive to take the dog or yourself for a walk, just go from home
ReplyDeleteWe are extremely lucky here. Right outside our front door is open farmland and woods. No need to use the car other than for shopping.
DeleteGood sense of humor, me thinks he takes after his father?
ReplyDeleteActually, I can remember when I discovered that he had a great sense of humour. I was very 'proud' of him. He can be extremely funny. We laugh a lot when together.
