20 COVID-19 Memes to make you smile
COVID-19 and being in lockdown in no laughing matter, but like fellow blogger, Liesl quoted in her #LieslMidweekMoments post: … “South Africans are like those kids at the back of the class always making jokes of everything.” This is so true and indeed we are a strange nation.

If you have more to share feel free to post them in comments under the Facebook post right at the bottom of this blog.

Technology made it possible for us to work from home, and so we are very happy to be able to still contribute to society. Working from home should be no issue, well unless you have kids!

(on a more serious note there is an interesting psychological theory behind it. Because it is a large item it as a knock-on effect, one person sees a large purchase (say 18 rolls), then the next feel the urge to buy more, the next sees the shelve emptying and before you know it, you have 144 rolls that won't even fit in your car!
