*NOT GOING OUT* HAVE YOU MISSED *EATING OUT* DURING LOCKDOWN ? ANGELA

ANGELA & BRIAN




THE THING IVE MISSED MOST DURING LOCKDOWN IS EATING OUT ! ANGELA
**********************************************************************
BRIAN & I ~ eat out at least once a week so closing all the
Reatuarnts - Caffs - & Pubs was *The Straw that broke
The Camels Back^ for us. *Take Aways* are OK - The Food
is similar but its only 10% of the experience of *Dining Out*
Im not on LOCKDOWN but Brian has only been doing TWO
DAYS a week ! He is a great COOK and always has a nice
meal for me when I come Homefrom Slaving in the Clinic
in the Pool & in the Gym. Sometimes He prints a MENU
in French to make it more Cordon Blue ! What aspect of
Socialisation have YOU missed most during LOCKDOWN ?
Please add a POEM ~ Thnaks ANGELA & BRIAN 💛💛💛
*************************************************
BRIAN & I are FOODIES ~ We always love to EAT OUT
At least once a week ~ we*re Fine Dining
Like many of You too ~ no doubt !
A great Social Pleasure is Dining & Wining !
********************************
However as everyone knows RESTAURANTS
Were among the first places to CLOSE
They all catered for all our Dietry wants
During LOCKDOWN ~ How we all missed those !
******************************************
When BORIS decreed *WE could Eat Out again*
And Caffs & Pubs & Bistros could OPEN
The Good News ~ almost blew out my BRIAN
Eat in *FISH & CHIP SUPPER* with Brian ~ Im HOPIN* !
*****************************************
On FRIDAY ~ Our Friends ~ DAPHNE & FRED
Told us they had booked a TABLE
In a very POSH ~ NOSH ~ Known as the SHED
To join them we said we were able !
******************************
Twas our first *meal out* for 16 long WEEKS
Saturday Lunch by the RIVER
The STARTERS were Ham ~ Haddock or Leeks
The scent of them ~ sent Me in a quiver !
**********************************
The MAINS - Guinea Fowl or Pork or a Trout
Served *Nouveau Cuisine* with Panache
Also a Bottle of Rose D*Anjou
Sauces and Veggies & buttery Mash !
*******************************
A nice coice of Desserts to finish the Meal
Chocolate fondant ~ Panacot ~ Eton Mess
Cheeses & Biscuits ~ served with great Zeal
Weather was good ~ First NOSH since SPLOSH ~ A SUCCESS !
************************************************
Thanks for visiting ~ Please post a POEM on Your
First experience of Dining Out since lockdown !
Or the anticipation of one BOOKED
Love to ALL ~ Angela & Brian 💛💛💛💛💛


THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED ~ LIKE KFC & UNCLE MACS
SIMPLE THINGS LIKE THE POOL ~ GYM & CINEMA ETC
************************************
Things are coming back to normal
Simple treats and simple tasks
Like Jumpin in the Swimmin* Pool
With a SNORKEL as a MASK
*******************
Things are coming back to normal
I can go and see ME GRAN
I can go SKATEBOARDING
In the SKATEBOARD PAN.
I can camp out with the BOY SCOUTS
With our Tents ~ SIX FEET APART
And only SIX in a BIG BELL TENT
Much less smelly when they F * R *
***************************
But is CORONA VIRUS that easy to forget
In the words of RONNIE REGAN
YOU AINT SEEN NUTHIN YET
********************
SO like the Scouts say *BE PREPARED*
For a Second Worser Phase
Wear your MASK ~ do what they ASK
Enjoy LOCKDOWNLESS DAYS
We have all been FRUSTRATED
Locked in & DISCUMNOCERATED !
Cherish your new found FREEDOMS
Enjoy them while you can
Remember Mster COVID is the BOOGY BOOGY MAN !
*********************************
Thanks for visit ! Please add your POEM on
things you have missed during LOCKDOWN ~ &
are now available somehow ~ somewhere.
COVID 19 may only be an Invisible VIRUS
BUT VIRI CAN KILL. So be alert ~ keep your
Distnce and dont get DRUNK and forget rules.
Please add a POME ~ Love ANGELA & BRIAN XOXOX


IM A SCIENCE LECTURER ~ LOTZ OF PRATICAL
LABORATORY HANDS ON WORK ~ HEALTH & SAFEY
RULES SO WE CANT WORK FROM HOME ~ LOCKDOWN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GOD knows I like to to be BUSY
Because Im a Practical LAD
Like a TOP I buzz around WHIZZY
Doin* NUFFIN would drive me MAD !
So GOD gave me a GARDEN PLOT
An* GOD gave me a CAT
On my run-down Plot I worked a lot
SMOKIE made my Days all FULL-A-FUN never FLAT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because Im the HEAD of SCIENCE ~ Applied
I went into Work two day a WEEK
Allotments - Green Houses our Departments Pride
Animal House & Microbe Lab - Im a GEEK
And just in case on my HANDS - I had TIME
I did the HOUSEWORK as well
Made the DINNER each evening (a HOBBY of MINE)
So ANGEL came HOME to a wonderful SMELL !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ive been back in WORK last two weeks in JULY
WORKING HARD ~ Dotting *Is* crossing *Ts*
My O My back in WORK ~ Tempus Fugit ~ Time Fly
Thank GOD for August ~ A WHOLE MONTH OF EASE!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just to explain for Applied Science Work in
Addition to *Normal* labs we need a Microbiology
Laboratory (with ongoing Projects & Experiments)
And an Allotment & Greenhouses & Animal House
I help the Technicians to maintain these we
cant just shut them down like a PHYSICS LAB !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thnaks for visit ~ Please add a POEM about

*NOT GOING OUT* STILL FRUSTRATES ME ~ ANGELA
***********************************
*NOT GOING OUT* STILL VERY IRKSOME FOR BRIAN & I
WHY ? BECAUSE WE ARE YOUNG (UNDER 40) NO KIDS YET
VERY FIT & ACTIVE ~ AND LOTS OF INTERESTS !

I dont need no Gran nor a BABY SITTER
TVs OK ~ but I need Theatre or Flicks not FUSSY
*************************************
WE had planned to FLY to SEVILLE ~ SPAIN
But thats no longer OKY - DOKY
Due to COVID ~ Planes are grounded once AGAIN
Ad our NEIGHBOUR planned to care for SMOKEY

*The best laid plans O Mice an* Men*
As Robbie Burns once said *Gang aft agalay*
Sport & Concerts *NO GO* once again
Will we be in Lockdown ~ Forever & a Day ?
*********************************
NIL DEPERANDUM CARBORUNDUM ~ As the Romans said
DINE OUT ~ Al Fresco ~ while you can
Enjoy your fine RIOJA ~ Cheshire Cheese & Bread

SUPAMARKET FROZEN FOREIGN FOOD ORIENTAL TAKEAWAYS

****************************************
O Mister Woo what can I do ~ Ive got
The Hong Kong Chinese Chop House BLUES !
I miss your smiling face & the Pink-Ponk Tunes
Miss the scent of SWEET & SOUR & Dragon Balloons
I miss *THE SHANGHI LAGER* & Maos Special Rice
Lo Chi Chi in Kimono ~ makes every dish taste nice
It really isnt nice eating *Chinese @ Home*
Lemonchick from Iceland - Specialflylice on the phone
Its not just the Lockdown - Now China is NO GO
Japanese Food ? Raw & Crude - Dont know where to go !
I*ll have to go to THAILAND they do spicy too
Or may be go to India and risk a VINDALOO !
Or may be a Koorma or a very hot MADRAS
It*ll clear your Tubes and deep clean your A*S !

LOVE SWIMMING POOLS & GYMS ~ SOME ARE OPEN ~ BRIAN

We love SWIMMING Pools ~ always so COOL
We just cant wait to dive IN
Good exercise for the Arms & the Thighs
And we like to get down to the GYM !
******************************
Stay SIX FEET apart dont abuse it
But if its OPEN then use it !
Wve seen how quick it can shut down again
Look @ Leicester & Bolton & Spain !

Poor Unce Boris is in a DILEMMA
Says one thing to JIM & another to JEMMA
