I think I've graduated from the School of Transformation! My education's complete. Why? Well last night I began to watch the Box Set of the sitcom Outnumbered which I've never seen before.

At one point one of the children in the series asked mum if they could go on a shopping trip. I was horrified. "No" I mentally shouted at the TV. "You can't do THAT, it's not allowed and anyway all of the shops are shut!

How quickly we begin to change, without really noticing it's happening! It's probably a positive thing, knowing that I've achieved acceptance. But still, let's hope it won't be too long before we can one day just wander outside again and enjoy the pleasures of some 'retail therapy'.

True, but she was asking for some mum/daughter retail therapy! I hope no-one's attempting that! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

If anything I hope watching 'Outnumbered ' made you laugh๐Ÿ˜Š

It did. I definitely will watch more. It so reminded me of family life when bringing up my own children. Well... perhaps it's a little more extreme than that! ๐Ÿ˜„

I love Outnumbered, the child stars were brilliant. You are so right how we change to the current circumstances.

Yes I can't wait to be able to enjoy freedom again.

Keep well.๐Ÿ˜Š

Maybe, maybe not, at this point I will be ready just to get out for some social contact. Not having to worry when I do go out if I have to worry about touching something, am I far enough away from the people around me, if the people I may be around are infected, am I a carrier for others. I must say that that this social distancing thing really puts a new spin on what people call their personal space.

Social distancing, Alex? Easy, eat plenty of garlic and don't wash for a week๐Ÿ˜ซ

That was funny!!! I guess I will need to make sure I have plenty garlic on hand and not to wash for awhile so by the time things do open will I will be ready. Only kidding of course.

HIDDEN: Excellent drama if you feel locked in.

A road traffic accident and a "rescued" girl falling into the hands of suspected killer, kept in a derelict house, to suffer visits from psychotic granddaughter. After what seems an interminable length of time because of the way the story is filmed but is in fact about 38 hours, Cadision, link the resident identified in recent house search looking for Mari Williams, with the name on a school roll. Just as they are arriving at the house, the Captive tumbles onto the road.

Looking forward to Episode 8.
