Not a pretty sight

Favourite stretchy white top which is a bit too dingy now with age to go public
Favourite old blue pullover, so soft after years of use it is like wearing a cobweb
My old painting slax - a bit of a splashy painter, me, so they had to be retired from public life. Two weeks and counting, they are a tiny bit tighter despite the daily exercise routine uh oh
Slip-on trainers - one very short step above slippers laugh
No makeup
No shower today - washing my hands every single time I touch anything outside my house, in this dry country, I am saving water elsewhere grin

Yeah I know, wow. The queue can form to the right. No shoving, in fact 2 metres apart please. rolling on the floor laughing

I hate living in lockdown but you only have to look at the difference in figures to see it IS worth it. On March 11 I starting tracking the countries where I know people, on a spreadsheet. Spain had around 2000 cases. The USA had around 1000.

Yes we have terrifying figures despite the lockdown but - instead of having double as many as the USA, we have half.

But I am not a pretty sight. sigh anyone else prepared to share their isolation look ...

Mimi!! reunion

It is good to see what good is going on behind the scenes as well as all the doom and gloom stories
Why would you cover it up when there is so much more to you plus you have a man...Men don't cover their faces and let me tell ya right now..They ain't oil paintings.

All's well love hope all is well with you bouquet
You can KEEP April Fools Day my internet crashed 10 hours ago and has only just come on and since I earn my living online I am absolutely terrified it will happen again
Jac I didn't get painters block then laugh but repainting white on white is always dreary maybe I should go with some more exciting colours idea
Molly that's a definite plus in this time of minuses, improving community spirit and new roles for ones perhaps traditionally seen as slightly ogreish handshake

cheering
It must be hard to know what you've painted and not laugh


I'm glad you've got your internet back bouquet
Merc you use moisturizer, right? I have to, very dry very fair skin and a hot country so what the hell, it's tinted as well. If I didn't I'd look like an old leather saddle. There's a fine line between that and the cracked mural effect of heavy makeup and the trick is sticking to the fine line rolling on the floor laughing

Mimi I have to know what it is you use since you manage to look natural and not remotely pockmarked in real life wow
Yeah Viv I'm always slapping my face with moisturiser..I didn't know there were tinted ones till you just mentioned it laugh

Besides working out on machines I'm in chlorine pools so I needed to up the ante in regard to moisturiser.laugh

Just have never been one to look in the mirror and be fussy if a strand of hair is out of place or if whatever looks okay on me..Probably takes me a half an hour to get ready for anything..Maybe I'm too natural but for me the eyes & clear lip gloss is more than enough..I don't wear eye shadow..I'm a bland aussie laugh
Molly indeed lucky but I shan't take it for granted again uh oh
I don't think anybody will take anything for granted again.
Merc, the commercial tinted ones are still a bit gungy I tend to mix my own - 9 parts moisturizer to 1 part colour. I used to favour a roll-back-time base for fancy nights out and it did look incredible - perfect complexion - so long as I neither spoke nor smiled sigh

Strand of hair out of place - my default hairstyle is haystack after a wind. I CAN sleek everything down and glue it into place but then it just looks boring. I do envy to the depths of my being those who don't have to draw on features - luckily I can be ready to face the world in 15 minutes at any time as I rely heavily on my luvverly personality.

Yup, still single, men are so shallow laugh
