I wasn't sure whether to post this photo on 365 initially because it is a composite David put together of a few photos taken from the Internet, but then I thought what the heck, live dangerously.
Times are a bit rough for all of us at the moment and we really need to have a smile put on our faces and retain our sense of humour
A few days ago David's brother Paul emailed us asking if we were okay and David replied saying 'Yes we are but shopping is a bit tricky these days' and attached this photo. It did cheer Paul and Val up though and made them smile. Both Paul and Val have lost their jobs at present thanks to Covid-19 and who knows when they will be working again.
We will all come out the other end of this trouble one day and then the world can return to normal again.
Disclaimer - If the original photographer/s of these photos wish to sue us for posting this picture they are wasting their time. David and I are over 70 years old and live on pensions. Our superannuation has dropped through the floor thanks to Coronavirus, so we haven't got anything worth suing for. I could give them my specs if that would help. ha ha. So all I can do is remove the photo should anyone complain.
PS Guess which person is supposed to be me and which is David!
Love it! The other day when it was announced NZ was going into lockdown, everyone had trollies full of essentials. I met a young man with a big bag of spuds under one arm and a box of beer under the other!
Well done on the edit on this evocative image. I try to amuse my children by putting on fun pictures of myself. I haven't had the courage to show them on 365 yet.
Thanks for lifting my sprites this morning Babs. I'll pick the cart with the wine please. :) Glad to hear you are both doing well as can be during this very strange time.
You laugh, but I actually saw someone like this at the post office the other day...just kidding! But I did see a lady with rubber gloves on her hand and a mask over most of her face. Me, I just soak a paper towel in disinfectant and open and close the door with that without letting anything touch my hands. Oh well- I guess either way these two are stocked up for the long haul. One will pass it a little more pleasantly than the other in some opinions! (And as long as you're not selling prints of them- you're ok to post them.)
This is a picture for sore eyes. If I had to chose, I take the grocery buggy. our liquor cabinet is filled up. have to show this one my hubby, he'll get a kick out of it. very nice done, Babs. it's quite hilarious.
@kjarn@robz Ha ha, sorry to disappoint you but I would be the fruit and veggie person. I am the healthy one of the family. I do drink occasionally but I wouldn't be able to keep the bottle shop in business. I drink the equivalent of about 3 bottles of wine a year.
@kwind I suppose we could have our groceries delivered, but it isn't worth it here as there are so many things we can't get now that I would have to go to the supermarket anyway after having to rethink meals.
@craftymeg Ha ha, yes I am the healthy one of the family.
@golftragic Thanks Marnie, I did think twice, but decided to live dangerously especially as it isn't my photo.
@onewing I don't see a problem so long as you acknowledge the photo's provenance. I posted bushfire photos from online news, but was very clear they were not mine.
yep... I did my shopping yesterday, I did a whole weeks worth and then had to pack it at the register.... I think Coles and woolies should supply bags and pack while this saga is continuing...
