Covid19 . . What else??

"I agree, and anyone who hasn't been nationalised should be sent back to China . .

Malone, Tyke

I phoned Ivan Napple to place my fruit and veg order, and asked him if he had seen Jigjag recently.

“Not since the election. He was very disappointed with the result and went into self-isolation. I told him that Johnson would get it done, and he has. It’s all over, we are out, and I have heard nothing about it for months.”

“I think you might hear a lot more of it in the future when the crisis is over” I said.

“Crisis? Yes, I can’t get any asparagus and that Scottish customer of mine has bought all the celeriac and kale. Can’t get any anywhere.”

“I can get asparagus from Rosalind, but what about salsify?”

“Satisfy? I satisfy all my customers” he chuckled. Well I hope so and I am looking forward to the delivery.

Thanks - great fun! You've made sure we're all on the way to getting our ' 5 A Day'. I was delighted to hear Ivan Apple was riding out the present crisis.

I did a post called 'Jigjag's Flight Of Fancy' on 31st March. I can't call it a thread as mine is the only post on it!

Grunger

Terrific! Will be back soon.

Malone

I didn't notice your "thread". Just read it - hilarious - very touched. Will reply soon

Jigjag wouldn`t be the first to be `Lost in France`. Apparently, under occupation, the `Resistance` turned the signposts round to confuse the Germans and no one`s bothered to turn them back.

I don`t do social media because I know I`ll only get upset at many of the comments! 😖

welcome back Jigjag!

Jigjag

Lovely to see you back! We need all the treats we can get just now - and the wonders of cyberspace mean that we can all obey the 'safe distance' stuff.

Tyke,

Thanks for your signpost report. I can - and do - get lost anywhere, signposts or no signposts!

Malone
Thank you for the posting on your thread. I am sorry but I didn’t see it until yesterday. It was very funny. You were right to deduce that I have been in isolation.

It was in mid-January that I heard about the illness in China and I thought that it would reach here very soon. I felt we would be safer in France, so took the family to Paris. But I found life difficult there. They wont do a full English breakfast and the markets were crowded. I couldn’t settle. They refuse to speak English, the signs are all wrong and there is no cricket. I sent you a postcard and I’m glad it reached you.

We came home and found that the policy seemed to be that we would build up “nerd immunity”, in which case I would be safe. Just to be sure, I turned off the computer as I believe they can easily get a virus. After the latest guidance, I have now been isolating like everyone else, but thought I would look at the forum. I was very pleased to find that it is unaffected.

glad to hear you are well and able to post again. I suppose you have been very busy. I hope you didn't mind me doing a piece about Ivan Napple. I have missed them.
