Morning!
It’s another bright, beautiful day outside my window – hope it’s the same with you.
That being said, there was a frost when I came downstairs earlier. I live in Scotland. Yesterday we had hailstones, glorious sunshine, torrential rain, and then it turned cold enough to be icy overnight.
It’s never boring.
Or predictable.
It’s also easier to get away with murder here, because everyone’s got a spade in the back of the car in case it snows on the way home or there’s a mudslide.
Or you have to hurriedly dig a quick hole in an abundance of forest to dump a body which a couple of hours previously was taking a photo of you as you bent over in your jammies to pick up a parcel they’d delivered to your door.
The photos act as proof of delivery replacing your signature on their electronic notepad, which, frankly, could be the work of anyone anyway.
Those photos can never see the light of day.
You’ve been warned.
Also, don’t go for any of the woodland as you head over the Cairn O’ Mount.
It’s busy. *winks*
I kind of just open the laptop every morning and see what comes out. Never did I think I’d be jokingly suggesting where to dump a body. It’s like I’ve been taken over. I feel like Venom.
Moving on sharply.
On today’s blog, all the funnies lovingly curated to put a smile on your Lockdown face, plus the return of Drive In Movies, Virtual Escape Rooms and Disapproving Corgis.
Let’s dive in
The Useful
In the tradition of the ever-faithful St Bernard trailing through the snow, in times of crisis, humans have always turned to animals for support, and, I’m pleased to say, this is not the first example I’ve come across of dogs delivering beer to customers.
Meet Buddy and Barley.
And here’s a report on them, purely because the news guy sounds like a local Kent Brockman.
Next, as this episode of our blog becomes rapidly Simpsonized, have you found it difficult to shake off the brain fog or concentrate on things during Lockdown?
I’ll wait until you get your head around the previous sentence.
This article explains why, and how to shake it.
As Zoom meetings seem to have taken over our lives, I’ve found myself increasingly looking for fun ways to use the platform, in a bid to try and either enjoy it or wreck it from the inside.
‘Virtual Escape Rooms’ seems to be the latest spin.
All the details here.
It’s ingenious really. All the online reviews are going to be brilliant because those are the people who’ve escaped.
The rest are all Jumanjied somewhere in the game.
This is even better. The revival of the Drive In movie.
Think about it. You remain in your car. They’re parked at a socially distant interval from your neighbours. Food’s delivered to your window.
Throw in a silent disco, bingo and a comedian beforehand, and you’ve got a night of it touring 11 cities in 12 days at £35.00 a car this Summer.
In these conditions, I think they might be on to a winner.
Find out if it’s going to be anywhere near you.
World Of The Weird
This is always one of my favourite sections. Here, we highlight the sightly odd levels of behaviour which have sprung up during the Lockdown period, often masquerading as entertainment.
Like this – a Facebook page filled with photos of seemingly disapproving Corgis.
It’s the new Grumpy Cat.
It’s time for The Funnies
