Playmobil pandemic in our house part 2

[SoMuchToBits]

Thanks to everyone who commented on part 1. Here is part 2!

Link to old thread here. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3878211-An-outbreak-of-Covid-19-has-occurred-for-the-Playmobil-people-in-our-house?watched=1&msgid=96400430#96400430

Are Cadaroc and Nerys still accepting cash?

They still accept cash but prefer contactless.

I love the detail it still looked dark when Caradoc and Nerys left for work early in the morning!

Has lockdown been relaxed in Playmoland ?

Haha, the fact it looked dark when Caradoc and Nerys left was an entire accident!

Lockdown hasn't really been relaxed much yet. Maybe Norman will be along soon to give more guidance...

People are social distancing as they queue outside the pizzeria for takeaway pizza.

That’s a lot of garlic Kirsten!

Antonio and Lorenzo are busy. Antonio takes an order on the phone while Lorenzo puts another pizza in the oven.

Eluned comes in to collect her pizza - pepperoni with extra chilli.

She takes it away in the box.

Kylie isn't doing much lifeguarding at the moment, so has time to pop in for a pizza. She chooses a Margherita.

Kirsten fancies a ham and mushroom pizza. Antonio puts the lid on the box.

I was going to ask yesterday if people were having lots of takeaways (to help the local economy of course, not just because they love pizza 😉)!

Also, is everyone in Playmo land getting along well, or are tempers starting to fray in some households? Have there been any tears &/or disagreements in hushed voices over silly things that usually wouldn’t matter?

Is everyone going mad on eBay or other retailers ordering things to while away the hours? Has anyone taken up cross stitch or birdwatching or maybe rediscovered a love of jigsaw puzzles?

Is anyone going to have a lockdown birthday party?

What about a lockdown baby? Is anyone expecting and due to give birth in the next couple of weeks? Maybe a home birth?

(Forgive me if some of these things have already been done - I’ve actually got a really shit memory and processing issues so I don’t always take everything in well when it comes to detail)

Nink I think they must still all be getting on ok - after all they are still all smiling!

Some of your suggestions may be featured in future days, so just keep watching!

Maybe some of them are smiling through gritted teeth? 😁

Nah, I’m happy that all is well in Playmo land. 🌷

Has Kylie been furloughed?

Is it just me that kind of believes a little bit in my head that the Playmopeople are actually real and have a proper life?

Sort of a cross between The Velveteen Rabbit and Toy Story

I think Kylie may well have been furloughed (I have a RL friend who is a trainer for the RNLI and she has been furloughed).

And of course they are real! Well, they are to me anyway...

There you are!!

I think someone needs to tweet Playmobile as they definitely owe you free sets. So many people will be inspired to buy their own seeing how much one can be had with Playmobile!

Ah well, I don't do twittering, but I doubt if they'd give me freebies. I'm a good source of income for them!

Your first thread has been moved to Classics - quite rightly.

Ooh, has it? That's very kind.

I missed a few days of the first thread, and had a minor panic when I realised it hadn't been updated, but thanks for the signposting to this one.

SoMuch, these threads are wonderful. The captions for each picture are just spot on. I've just been looking at the pictures on the BBC news app (Coronavirus: Images as England eases lockdown rules) and the captions there sounded exactly like the ones here. Your influence is wide!

I love the pizza boxes! Do they use have a delivery service too? Someone on a motorbike?

Sadly no pizza delivery service in our Playmoland. They used to do a pizza delivery van playmodb.org/setpics/6/6292.jpg but it has been discontinued. I did look to see if I could get one second hand on eBay but couldn't find one!

That giant sausage in the pizzeria...is that really playmobil?

Are there any poor souls who are clinically extremely vulnerable and hence still in total lockdown. May we see through their windows (at them tearing their hair out and sobbing into their cereal?)
