Update from The House of Plague, Day 55 (Lockdown memes!)

[elisi]

We all agree that March was six years long and April has lasted six minutes, right? Can we get some sort of explanation on that. Genuinely baffled by how elastic time is right now, but more by how we seem to be experiencing it in similar ways.

How to pretend you’re in a beer garden

-Carry four full pint glasses back and forth across your lawn
-Put all your condiments outside until they’re really warm
-Keep saying “don’t worry, he/she’s friendly” about your dog
-Worry your face is going very red
-Sit on your sunglasses

Celebrity lockdown:

If you are a celebrity and you wonder what you can do for the people, it’s this. Stay home and silently take out your garbage in Hammer pants. This is the pinnacle of celebrity service. pic.twitter.com/rRAk793P2G

Doctor Who

So, choose your lockdown house! I am torn between House 1 (War is terribly laid back, and Jackie and Donna and River would just be endlessly entertaining), House 2 (Amy & Yaz would be great together, and Simm!Master is excellent company during hiding out from angry mobs for several years forced quarantine) and House 4 (but it has to be Trenzalore!11, the younger version doesn't have the patience).

my brain is running away with this now. like missy was a serious threat but dhawan!master is so broken down and emo Clara'd just be like ''god, whatever'' and kick the shit out of him. and every time Ten tried to interject she'd just Glare him into submission. and poor Rory is in the corner with a bottle of grey goose like, I guess this is happening.
