An outbreak of Covid-19 has occurred for the Playmobil people in our house...

[SoMuchToBits]

… and so over the next few days I'll be bringing you some scenes of a Playmobil Pandemic.

People are allowed out for exercise, but must practise social distancing. Janice and Preston are both out for a run but are making sure they don't get too close.

Very responsible of them!

Thank you OP. I was day dreaming of the children being older and me arranging the storage. My heart skipped a beat with the plastic bags for the small bits so they don’t fall at the bottom.
Amazing.

I re-read my post 😂 I sound like a mad woman 😫

Are those Lego storage boxes on Marta, Matthias, Franz and Emil’s shelves? For some reason that really tickled me.
And PBC!
Joy!

How do I call Mumsnet HQ in to ask very nicely for a blue wine emoji?
@mumsnethq
Does that work?

We went to visit family some years ago, and discovered a large box of unsorted playmo. We hadn't seen each other for about three years and there we sat (adults) on the floor of the kids' room sorting and reassembling playmo sets. It's addictive!
We used plastic ice cream containers for the smaller bits.

@mnhq I think but they don't seem to notice. Maybe @hebemumsnet will as I hear she's after a promotion Can we have blue wine please?

Thanks Betty

Oh, yes, @hebemumsnet, do you think SoMuchToBits could have a blue wine emoji for the Playmo threads? Please?

I wonder if blue wine pairs nicely with blue cheese...

and with a niche type of film which I'm sure Jack Jellyhead would perhaps appreciate.

I'm not too keen on blue cheese, so will stick with the blue wine and some nice yellow cheese.

Not sure I can do any together at home concerts for tomorrow. Too short notice. Maybe later. Setting up the Playmo is quite time consuming (but fun!) and I'm trying now to fit it around my regular work shifts. But I'll see what I can come up with!

TIO: and with a niche type of film which I'm sure Jack

I was quietly taking bets as to which Jack this would turn out to be.

Nicholson?
Black?
Reacher?

Oh no don’t put yourself out

Love the everyday updates they are great

Absolutely no problem @SoMuchToBits - I’m sure people are just making pleasant conversation and enjoying musing over what might come next! 💐 for you.

I want wine and cheese now.

@SoMuchToBits, I am holding you responsible for me spending ££££ on the Playmobil site! Awaiting school, playground, car and beach scenes....

@SoMuchToBits
I love the fact that PM Norm has his own builders porta-loo

I hope you enjoy your new Playmobil Gherkin! At least everything is reduced on the site at the moment. Ponders further purchases

Brilliant! Thank you

Brilliant again today! Thank you.

Do the chums of Jack Jellyhead (is it wrong that he's my favourite?) have names? Ronnie and Reggie?

They are Colin Custardhead, Ian Icecreamhead and Tom Triflehead.

Are they the ones with the white suits and black shades giving it out in the park? They're my favourites too

Awaiting school, playground, car and beach scenes....

That sounds like the Playmobil ‘lockdown nostalgia’ package. 😆

They are Colin Custardhead, Ian Icecreamhead and Tom Triflehead.

Hurrah!

The one with the white suit is Ian Icecreamhead. The one with the black suit and shades is Tom Triflehead and the other one with the stripy top and shades is Colin Custardhead.
