On it goes...
McDonalds, Primark, National Trust gardens and open spaces (the buildings were already closed), Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Next, New Look, TK Maxx... and the Gay Pride Parade! All closed.
On this Tacky Music Monday, I think a little nonsense from the Dutch in Spain is in order:
That gave us something to laugh at - now back to the garden [I have been off today; back to "WfH" tomorrow]!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tHAT video!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought you may be busy escorting HRH to Windsor Castle?
Meanwhile I have slated a drive for this afternoon. Mt auto hasn't been driven since last Tuesday. I hope the crank start up still works.
So many mysteries in that video. Who is that woman? She's obviously not a backing singer since she knows none of the words. Did he rescue her from the surf? When she puts make-up on, is she in reality Emmylou Harris? How does he keep the bloody bike moving in the water? Why are none of the onlookers in their Speedos remotely attractive?
DeleteAnswers on a postcard, please.
Enjoy your drive - just don't go and park somewhere busy. Like a cruising ground. Remember "social isolation" - you need to be six feet away from strangers! Jx
I do that anyway!
ReplyDeleteWhat? - cycle through the surf in your swimwear? Jx
DeleteNo social distancing - I'm not the only one
DeleteWhat will people do? What will they do?!? There'll be more deaths from cabin fever than Covid-19 at this rate. Bloody sensible National Trust...
ReplyDelete* grumbles then realises that this is a good excuse to sort the allotment out after having put it off for years *
It is at times like this we are eternally grateful for the garden. But an allotment to me is a step too far (unless it is one's only outdoor space, of course). Jx
DeleteSTOP PRESS: The Olympics and Greggs have joined the list. Jx
ReplyDelete"Why are none of the onlookers in their Speedos remotely attractive?" The first question on my mind.
ReplyDeleteOf course. Jx
DeleteI've had my exercise outing for the day *starts twiddling thumbs*
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should take up Tacky Dancing?
Sx
Are there huge crowds in your neighbourhood, Miss Scarlet? I thought you were safely ensconced in the middle of nowhere... Jx
DeleteSome of our lanes are very narrow. Today I backed myself into a hedge - and I'd gone out early!!
DeleteSx
I don't think you can get a virus from a hedge. Jx
DeleteWhy does this tune remind me of something by Chas & Dave, but on a beach?
ReplyDeleteSx
Dutch music and Cock-er-ney Music Hall have great similarities. That's why, when we are in Amsterdam, we can safely go to a Sunday sing-a-long with lyric books entirely in Dutch and just sing "Lets All Go Down The Strand (Have a Banana)" to most of them. It works. Jx
DeleteAll our friends in Spain are having a bit of a tough time.
ReplyDeleteFab to watch a video to remind us of happier times.
I doubt either of us or our friends would be as daft as to cycle through the surf at Carihuela, with or without the weird woman on the back...
DeleteBut yes, at least we got our holiday in this year before it all kicked off.
