Who wants to join me in quarantine? (Lighthearted)

I love the idea of The Chalet School San quarantine. Can I come too? I want crisp white sheets, fresh mountain air and amazing views. Hot buttered crumpets, hot chocolate and amazing stews all prepared by someone else. Plus a bed and a room to myself for the kind of sleep I can only dream of. After a week or two I might make it outside for a wander in the fresh air as I'm sure they considered that to be the best medicine

@TeaAndStrumpets It's very noisy! The house is shaking.

@WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles That is an excellent idea. I've also got past the horrible bit of my story now and it's all the nice stuff, so it shouldn't be too offensive to everyone else.

OK I am bringing;
half a bottle of whiskey.
a pan of chili.
a dundee cake.
a dressing gown. It has a hood.

"Fat boxer"

Today is certainly an ideal quarantine day. I got up to put a roast chicken in the oven and DH told me to go back to bed. I'm hoping pancakes may appear shortly. It's very cosy here as I have fluffy socks on, a fleecy nightie and a hot water bottle and a bedspread over my duvet.

@SapphireSeptember could you dictate your writing into a text to speech thing? Therefore giving you more time to Do Fuck All In Approved Quarantine Thread fashion?

I stayed in an Uber fancy spa hotel for a weekend with dh it was utterly wasted on him where pjs and robes are allowed, indeed encouraged, everywhere but the fancy restaurant for dinner. The lovely staff told tale of the great snow of 2018 where one couple couldn't be evacuated from their three day stay, so has the run of the hotel with a skeleton staff for an additional four days until the airport reopened. Can you imagine the bliss?

I'm planning a day by myself in the same spa soon. I will not talk to a soul, other than to give a lunch order, for a whole 12 hours. I'm giddy at the thought of it so a trip to the quarantine lodge is absolutely my bag. I'll bring the gin making kit I got for Christmas so we can set up.our own still.

I think some gentle typing noises in another room could be restful, sapphire....quite noisy and stormy outside just now anyway!

Excellent, that'll be my Pusheen nightie and a slanket then.

Can I wear my disreputable dressing gown? Its very comfy. I bought a new one but it makes me look like a fat boxer.

Tinsel Nope, on my laptop, the keys don't make too much noise. Of course if people were napping I'd find somewhere else to go, or have a nap myself.

But I’ve drunk all the wine.

I have dog. He’s gorgeous. A 9 minute stagger is very appealing.

Oh oh please, me, I’m terribly infectious with the Everydaybullshitvirus and must be quarantined immediately.

I’m totally on board with anything with butter, especially the really divine hand made Welsh one I enjoyed last year. In fact, I can heartily recommend where I stayed as a quarantine location. Middle of nowhere, very quiet, very dark, hot tub and the most delightful and unlikely pub a mere 9 minute stagger with a head torch. I could just do with a couple of dogs wistful and definitely someone Nanny-ish to tuck me in and bring me some macaroni cheese about 9pm and lots of wine

May I join you? My contributions will be be posh chocolate, gin, and lots of different types of tea. I'll stay offline and get some typing done. (I'm writing a story, I write in notebooks then type it up, I haven't done any of the typing up since about October!) The rest of humanity can fuck off and leave us alone.

@TinselAngel don't over exert yourself.

There you go

Poor tinsel you really need some quarantine

I’d like a “Fuck off. No.” badge in honour of the fragrant Posie.

A VOW of silence FFS. Vow not bow.

I've often thought I would like to be a contemplative (is that the right term?) nun with a bow of silence.

Actually there was a thread I think yesterday about making special Fuck Off badges. I can't link because I'm on the app but I think you will all enjoy it if you can find it.

I realise this will be incredibly annoying to read for people who can't do this (my DC are older) so apologies for any rage I cause with my irritating smugness but I try and have a Quarantine Day each week or two (I call it a Rest Day and justify it on grounds of needing to rest - it's not a lie, I have a disability and do too much sometimes!)

In preparation, the bed linen is changed the day before. I have Special Silky Pyjamas I only ever wear on that day (fuck me I sound sad a new book on my Kindle or something I want to watch on TV - old films I have seen before are good. (If the budget allows I buy a cooking magazine in advance of The Day). Various DC are bribed to bring me cups of tea and toast. In true MN fashion I don't answer my phone or the door all day I have a bath in the afternoon. I nap whenever I want. I also have a very heavy lazy cat for my feet who stays with me all day. If I MN I try and stay within The Litter Tray and FWR to keep my zen like calm in place (apart from the odd knobhead who pops up in FWR to say the same thing on every thread ) I also write lots of lists, food ideas and To Do stuff - this also makes me feel very happy.

I'm giving a big happy sigh just typing this. In fact inspired by this thread I am going to have A Quarantine Day tomorrow soon and re-read all my Chalet School books.
