Lockdown Loafing

We've just had the latest delivery of bread from Earth&Fire (operate out of Rising Sun Farm). 
I leave the money in an envelope sticking out of the letterbox. 
He puts down the bags of bread, takes the envelope, knocks on the door and retreats to the gate. 
We go to the door and pleasantries are exchanged.
"I know him!" he shouts, pointing at Ferretfingers who has just appeared behind me.   
They shout hello at each other.
Similarly yesterday; we go into Family Shopper, pick up some stuff and go to the till.
"Hello Ferretfingers" says the assistant.
I'm still always slightly surprised when people who don't know me know my kids.
Mrs Bun  I'm always saying to my son "who's that then"

7 snails tonight
Twice the average haul this year
It is misty and warm
Miss Doozer  Duvet hokey cokey time
Bentonbag  Duvet in a hammock?           (*Miss Doozer had a hammock in the back garden)
Miss Doozer  You can't do the Hokey Cokey in a hammock.  You're in, or you're out.  
Shaking it all about is unwise.
