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

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).

I definitely agree with that first tweet. It's so weird how March went so slowly, but April so fast.

So many funny ones like the Larry the Cat tweet and emotional baggage and Lord of the Rings one but the one about drinking more while in lockdown almost had me snorting soup through my nose.

Never experienced anything like it...

but the one about drinking more while in lockdown almost had me snorting soup through my nose.
Wooo! Mission accomplished! :D

I have a theory about the March thing: it's because the lockdown started then, so maybe we started being inside our houses more and it felt like time was slowing down.

I still have to process the fact that we are actually in May though, it doesn't really feels like? But then, what's May anyway? LOL, I'm astral projecting at this point. XD

Could be, but why did the change in month signal the change in the flow of time?

We need that galaxy brain meme. Hmmm.

Two meme posts in one day?!

I think I would either choose House 2 or House 6.

No, just the one. However it wouldn't crosspost, so I just posted it separately. Must have finally done the crosspost in the middle of the night or something... ???

2 is a solid choice. Am not sure about Thirteen AND Missy...

[sea_thoughts]

I'd get a kick watching the Unresolved Something Tension between them. *stuffs popcorn in my mouth*. XD

[elisi]

Ah. OK, as you were. :)

[sea_thoughts]

Obviously I'd build a sturdy bunker for me and Martha and Wilf to have some peaceful card games and we could go stargazing in the back garden. <3

[elisi]

Ah OK, yes that makes sense. :D
