Joint venture
They were the toughest times. Living in the Western Isles, isolation was a way of life. So when the big snows came, the family lived off the contents of the freezer.
Murdoch, with time on his hands, started watching cooking programmes and took over the kitchen and dwindling contents of the freezer.
“We’ve a family to feed! You’ve no idea how to make the food stretch!” complained wife Martha. Murdoch ignored her.
Later he went outside for a smoke. The kids shot the bolt. Murdoch blew a fuse. For Martha, a sigh of relief. The freezer would be full again.

Thanks Drew. It grew out of me pondering isolation... and my freezers.

Geez! We've had some of our biggest meat processors close down here due to corona, and they say in five or six weeks we'll start noticing their absence, so there may be a lot of spouses that turn up in the freezer!
