Coronavirus - Keeping it light :-)

[littlespark]

Getting eggs direct from farm.... Win!
Finally putting up shelves at the back door... Win!

Not having the shelf brackets slotted in properly..... Fail!

Make an omelet quick, or separate the yolks, keep the whites and whisk until stiff, the whites not you, then look up the recipe as I have forgotten the rest.

That reminds me of a very sad tale from hereabouts. A lady with lots of eggs to spare puts them in boxes outside her gate, and there's an "honesty" box to leave payment. She gives the proceeds to charity. She appealed for folks to drop off empty egg boxes so she could fill them.
Last week, somebody decided to steal the honesty box...and also smashed all the eggs awaiting collection.

That’s what my wife said.... but I’d binned all the broken ones. I would have needed to pick out all the shells.

There’s another tray under that one. Not one broken there.
Top tray, 14 smashed, 9 saved.

At 10p per egg... not a huge waste

Sorry, off -topic of keeping it light...

How about this instead?

That is very sad, especially in the present situation.

Refers to post 439. I forgot to quote.

Yes...just proves there's scum everywhere

There’s another egg farm near here tried the honesty box thing and got the same treatment.

they tried with a sign first, reading...

“Due to social distancing, my mother in law can no longer patrol the grounds like she used to.
Be assured she remains vigilant,... she can see you now from her treetop vantage point. Shotgun in hand”

They’ve now got a massive, chilled vending machine that gives out eggs, milk, cream, cuts of meat ....

school bully to effeminate ckass mate:

" does your mum know that you are gay?"

classmate: No, but your Dad does".

Haha! Very funny Tel...although perhaps not entirely PC...

That takes me back a long time...
My girlfriend was very pretty (she still is...pretty, I mean, not my girlfriend, she married an accountant so maybe I had a lucky escape...)
Anyway, she broke up with me and at first i was devastated, but as always, you get over it...I asked her why she had dumped me but she refused to say...
a couple of years later i met her at a party, asked her how she was, exchanged the usual pleasantries, and then i asked her how her mum was doing...
She replied, you are asking me? Aren't you still sha**ing her?
Give me my due...I did blush...

I would of been flying back from Greece this afternoon, if it hadn't been for this virus.
I did consider other options, like this. But there'd be nowhere to put the suitcase.

Same happened to us the other weekend. Junkie neighbour out early in the morning. Had clearly been up all night. Smashed all the eggs over the road. Even came back later that afternoon to retrieve the stick he’d used. I guess the NED thought the cops could get his finger prints off the stick. What made it funnier is that he used his sign written van when getting his stick. all on cctv ?

What's with this Covid over "egg-citement" ,
went to throw some garden waste in a Appropriate bin .. 20 or so smashed eggs it the bottom.

Is it hoarders .. or Freebie Food parcels going to waste
... Regional Egg thieves .. unable to shift their Booty ...
