… 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.

Cat on a skateboard! What's not to love!

Gosh, I just tried to clean out my (tiny, lean-to) greenhouse, and gave up after washing forty small flower pots. I need to follow Rhys's example!

SoMuchToBits · 29/04/2020 18:22

I'll try to take some more photos tomorrow and post before I go to work (on a late shift tomorrow so start at 1 pm).

Love today's posts Grin

Westfacing · 29/04/2020 19:24

I love all the bits & bobs and paraphernalia in the garage!

SnugglySnerd · 29/04/2020 20:56

I loved the Skype call and the horses yesterday!

pussycatinboots · 29/04/2020 21:05

That garage is sooooo tidy compared to mine Grin

SoMuchToBits · 29/04/2020 23:13

Thank you for phoning @petalpower sorry we were on family Skype call. Tomorrow will be home just before 8pm, then doing clap for key workers, shower, dinner etc.

Friday not working so maybe speak that evening? Hope everything is good with you. xx

SoMuchToBits I love it that the garage was full of the same old stuff as everyone's IRL, and I bet Rhys was hoping to get rid of the old toys, but no chance now Llewellyn and Rhiannon have rediscovered them!

Ifan runs the Splish Splash café. It usually attracts customers from the nearby swimming pool, but that is currently closed. Ifan still has a small selection of beach toys and magazines as well as food and drink.

The café is open for takeaway only, and customers are well spaced out in the queue.

Stella Martin the singer has had all her engagements cancelled, so she has plenty of time on her hands at the moment. She chooses an ice cream wafer.

Norman the Foreman is out for a walk and wants a nice cup of tea. It's a novelty to have one in a takeaway cup!

It’s lovely to see Norman out and about but shouldn’t he be busy running Playmoland?
(Have a good shift at work SoMuch and I’ll speak to you tomorrow night.)

SoMuchToBits · 30/04/2020 11:15

He is busy running Playmoland, but even the Prime Minister needs a break for some exercise and a cuppa every now and then! Wink I expect he's back at work now...

… in fact a massive parcel has just arrived here, so plenty for Norman to be getting on with! Grin

A big parcel you say? How exciting! Smile

SoMuchToBits · 30/04/2020 12:25

Very exciting, but haven't had a chance to open it yet, as wanted to get the overdue pile of ironing done before going to work! Will investigate it tonight... Grin Off to work now.

I love the stacked tables to indicate they're out of use!

Bits you're like Alan Bennett - a master observer of the minutiae Grin

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 30/04/2020 13:02

Cheers, Norman!

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 30/04/2020 16:28

I love that word minutiae Grin I don’t get to use it often even if it try

I’m so impressed how playmoland is managing the lockdown. No moaning no one is looking miserable residents don’t seem to be stuffing their face at every given opportunity ....

FuzzyPuffling · 30/04/2020 16:30

Is anyone in Playmoland shielding? Do they get a box of random food every week. Do Playmo even do corned beef and wagon wheels?

SoMuchToBits · 30/04/2020 20:32

The minutiae are what I love about Playmobil!

I haven't noticed any corned beef or wagon wheels...
