Issue No 40 - Wednesday 26 August 2020

EDITORIAL

Although COVID appears to be on a pleasing downward trend, there is a long way to go. I know from discussions that some people are struggling, and some are OK – and many are in between.

If you are not OK, please ring a friend. 

If you get such a call, please organise a couple of people to call that person back.

Our best chance of getting on top of this scourge is to be good for the next few weeks – at least.

Please be good and think of others who may not be quite so fortunate.

CONTEMPORARY KIDDING

🦸🏻♂- Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine myself entering a Bank, wearing a mask and asking for money.

 ✋🏻🀚🏻- Never thought my hands will one day consume more alcohol than my liver...ever!

πŸ’€- Quarantine seems like a Netflix series...just when you think it is over, they release the next season.

 πŸ˜·- I’m starting to like this mask thing...went to the supermarket and two people that I owe money to didn’t recognize me.

Image πŸ“†- Who was complaining that 2020 didn’t have enough holidays...now what?

 πŸ˜œ- I need to social distance myself from my fridge; I tested positive in excess weight!

 πŸ‘¨‍πŸ‘©‍πŸ‘§‍πŸ‘¦- Can someone tell me if the 2nd quarantine will  be with the same family... or we can change?

πŸ–₯- In just two weeks we will hear if there still two more weeks to let us know that two more weeks of quarantine are needed...

⏳- I’m not planning adding this 2020 to my age...I didn’t even use it!

😟- We want to publicly apologise to the year 2019 for all the bad things we said about it.

πŸ™ŽπŸ»♀- To all the ladies that were praying for their husbands to spend more time with them... how are you doing?

πŸ’‰- After all that we have been through, the only thing missing is that the vaccine will be available only in suppository form.

πŸ‘¨‍πŸ¦±πŸ‘©πŸΌ‍🦱- I feel like a teenager... no money in my wallet, hair long and out of control, thinking what to do with my life, and grounded home.



PLEASE REMEMBER

That laughter is the best medicine. If you cannot laugh try to phone a friend, particularly one who is a good listener. 

Is there anyone who would love to get a phone call from you?

Please stay well and as happy as can be. The bear is after a cuddle.
