So how many elephants you need to wash you hands?
Not sure if this is Day 51, or is it my second Day 1. The reason being – I had to venture out to the chemist today to collect my prescription. The world looks like a scary place with face visors, plastic screens and warning posters. I was glad to get back indoors to my freshly replenished hoard of toilet paper. Yes I know we need to protect people, but maybe we need to think about how the image affects moods. Made me a little afraid, but not a lot since I have worked with PPE for all of my working life.
I noticed that the chemist were selling hand sanitiser at £3 for a small 50ml bottle. Unbelievable – when I can still get a litre delivered to my door for under a fiver (and no – not from a scam source – from a retailer I use regularly for other things). Made me a little annoyed, but not bad.
There were groups of young people hanging around together, cycling around together. Not a big issue, but that annoyed me, more than a little.
I am now set for another 50 days indoors. Quite a biggy. Doesn’t really make me feel good or bad.
So how many elephants do you need to wash your hands? Twenty, of course. And if you don’t understand go watch the film Gregory’s Girl. For some reason the Chic Murray piano scene popped in to my head this week – and try as I could I just could not get it out.
This part of the film has nothing at all to do with the story-line – it just is one of those classic clips that is there to put a smile on your face.
I see there is another feel good film on this week – I have never managed to see the start of it, so please don’t call me at 9pm on Thursday. I will be watching Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
In other news I see that Southport Flower Show has now announced that it is cancelled. Sad – buying my seeds there was one of my feel good moments in the year. Thanks to a friend’s “her indoors” I have a list of seed distributors, but it isn’t quite such a feel good moment.
Funny how the little things we do in life can make such a difference to moods, both positive and negative, even more than the big things.
