… 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.

He's not sure he can manage to dye the beard and moustache though, so he shaves them off!

At last, the demise of the beard!!!

AvengingGerbil · 27/04/2020 07:17

Good choice, Berwyn! I’m hoping for a widespread uptake of de-bearding!

Sorryoo · 27/04/2020 07:46

But but but, do they have clear doors/windows in their bathroom or are they frosted glass and just look clear? This is really concerning me.

PS thank you, I love these threads.

Sorryoo · 27/04/2020 07:46

Did Berwyn use the JustForPlaymoMen dye?

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 27/04/2020 08:00

Branwen and Berwyn look so young with their new hair colours! It's taken years off them!

CatkinToadflax · 27/04/2020 08:20

Just wanted to mention that my dad died a few days ago (not covid related) after being ill for a long time. This thread has been keeping me going and giving a lot of laughs when urgently needed. I sent the link to my very sad mum yesterday and she's been hooting at all of the home haircuts/hairdyeing and Norman the Foreman and his press conference megaphone. SoMuch, thank you Flowers x

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 27/04/2020 08:58

Cat sorry to hear you are going through such a difficult time. Laughter even in our darkest times is needed.

Leilani looks absolutely great. I love a beard so personally hope Berwyn shall not be starting a new trend but it’s taken years off him

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 27/04/2020 09:57

So sorry for your loss, CatkinToadflax x

petalpower · 27/04/2020 10:08

Sorry for the loss of your dad CatkinToadflax. I’m glad that this thread has helped you and your mum.

pussycatinboots · 27/04/2020 13:22

glad it's not just me. Grin

bettybattenburg · 27/04/2020 14:15

I'm a teacher and couldn't watch Waterloo Road for the same reasons!
@SnugglySnerd They hadn't got a clue about safe guarding or anything else had they?!

petalpower · 27/04/2020 17:21

I do hope your new sets of Playmobil arrive soon. Are they going to be used for new photos? Thank you for carrying on making new scenes - lots of people are really enjoying them. Smile

SoMuchToBits · 27/04/2020 20:19

Very sorry for your loss Catkin and glad the thread has brought a few smiles. x

Haha, the new sets will all be used for this. I originally wanted to get some new summer holiday sets this year, but it doesn't look like the playmolanders will be holidaying much this summer...

They'll have to have a Staycation in their back gardens! 😆

SoMuchToBits · 27/04/2020 21:14

Just to let you know any photos tomorrow won't be very early - I haven't taken them yet! Was working all day today so no time to do any...

OP posts:
petalpower · 27/04/2020 21:16

We will look forward to the photos with great anticipation!

SoMuchToBits · 27/04/2020 21:22

Thank you, but don't hold your breath! Grin

I'll see you all tomorrow then, photos probably in the afternoon.

CatkinToadflax · 28/04/2020 07:39

Thank you all for being so kind. Looking forward to today's installment! Smile

Laska2Meryls · 28/04/2020 08:09

SoMuch thanks for this, You may be interested to know that BrandAlley are having a Playmobil promotion . If you've not used them before, their stuff is really heavily discounted

SoMuchToBits · 28/04/2020 11:16

Thank you Laska, I did have a look in BrandAlley but they didn't have any of the sets I actually wanted, so I went a bit mad on the Playmobil website where everything was 20% off! A parcel may be arriving later in the week - how exciting! Smile

Photos won't appear until later this afternoon, as I got up late (a bit tired!) and need to go to the shops before foraging in the summer house for playmobil and setting it up. But there will be something later!

I am loving the hair dye photos. Well done those Playmolanders. ( Buys shares in The Playmoland Hair Dye Company)

Sincere condolences Catkin. ♥️

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 28/04/2020 11:21

Ds has shown an interest in his Lego and we setting up scenes for him to send to Grandpa

It was down to this thread Grin so happy as gets him off the PS4

The residents of Playmoland are such influencers

SoMuchToBits · 28/04/2020 11:29

I'm laughing at the idea of Playmolanders being influencers! Grin But if they help people get through the pandemic I'm very happy!
