This Little Hobo

Landlocked scuba diver, gigless gig-worker, anxious perfectionist, and a demon with a sewing machine on a mission to make the most comfortable fabric face mask!

This is it! The 2020 Comedy Wildlife Photographer of the Year ... Mark Fitzpatrick captured this very apt and prescient moment with Terry the Turtle.

Does anyone else relate? "For some, coronavirus masks are surprisingly helpful for curbing social anxiety" https://t.co/FLNKWh0RXp

Do your kids a favour, get them a #custom-fit #facemask in their choice of colour or print! Choose their face wear the same way you'd choose their footwear! #comfort #facemasks #children #KidsDeserveIt #ProtectTheChildren #BackToSchool #BackToSchoolSafely #kidscorona #protection

Oh look... "the science changed" again! 🙃 Seriously, why doesn't BJ just ask Nicola Sturgeon what she's planning and do the same thing at the same time?! 🤦‍ #facemasksinschools #kidsinfacemasks #whatsthebigdeal #politicalhotpotato #WearAMask #facemasks https://t.co/LLwlCX2AmX

3 days, 3 different looks at the #Formula1 #BritishGP. No crowds at the #70thf1 but a #happycustomer was there sporting my #facemasks. If you too are in need of a #comfortable #facemask see what makes these so special at https://t.co/cgdVCkwPYs. Congrats to Max and @redbullracing

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

From 12am we must wear a #facemask to enter a shop in #England. Some will have dispensation - sorry to break it to you but having #mistyglasses didn't make the list! Beat the #fog and avoid getting #Steamy lenses! @Specsavers @VisionExpress @eyetechoptom https://t.co/m87jjalTs9

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

Apparently, refusing to wear a #facemask may be due to deep-rooted psychological drivers... it's more likely #packmentality than #defiance against #authority or some misplaced political stance. So who are the #Sheeple now eh?! 🤔😂😷

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

So it's official, in 10 days we must #MaskUp to go #shopping in #England or risk £100 fine! My order book tells me this isn't a surprise to some... good job I stocked up! #MandatoryMasks #WearADamnMask Check out my range at https://t.co/cgdVCkwPYs Here's a peak at two of my faves

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

#facecoverings are mandatory on many airlines - that's a long time to suffer the discomfort of an ill-fitting mask! This Little Hobo fabric #facemasks are all about #comfort See what makes them so special here: https://t.co/pO8M1UeUoD SALE ENDS AT MIDNIGHT!

[FCDO Travel Advice @FCDOtravelGovUK]

🌍From the 4th July travel advice for some countries will be changing. The coronavirus pandemic is ongoing and travel will be different.

Read our guidance now:

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

Yikes! Call me a #partypooper, but I think I'll stick to having a quiet #beer at home on #July4th2020. UK friends - how are you planning to unleash from #lockdown? Please take care out there! #Covid19UK #StaySafe #NewYearsEve on #4thofJuly #covidchaos https://t.co/uu6S9ovkRD

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

@MFbythesea I think I'll just have a quiet beer and watch the carnage from my balcony tbh 🤣🤪

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

And, on a brighter note... we can go enjoy an al fresco beer 🤣

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

*SALE EXTENDED to #4thJuly I thought it would be fitting to extend my #facemask sale to mark the date - for my customers in the #USA (your orders are on their way 😃) and for all in the UK looking forward to a #haircut and a #beer come Saturday! #StaySafe https://t.co/2HelF4lmvx

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

What a whirlwind the last fortnight has been! June 11, the day This Little Hobo went live, exactly 3 months since my last day of paid work and 1 month since @BorisJohnson advised the UK to wear #facecoverings. #Lockdown was a journey for me, how was yours? https://t.co/PtRvHh5UEC

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

The "mitigations" that will accompany the relaxing of #SocialDistancing in England on #July4 weren't made explicitly clear in the last of the nightly #downingstreetbriefings but I suspect the directive is coming #EasingLockdown @TheBMA calls for #facemasks https://t.co/p7kUglMIBR

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

Love your demo @erinwert #fit #Comfort #protection ...It's all about the nose wire right?! Well, mostly! 😉😷

[Erin Wert @erinwert]

I’ve been seeing so many people wearing masks wrong so that they fall down their face as they talk, etc. As a former ICU nurse, let me teach you how to wear a mask well.

The key is the nose piece. Shape it around you nose so it stays in place. It should hold shape when taken off

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

Pretty clear 2 will become 1 sometime this week right?... the "mitigations" that will accompany this new #SocialDistancing guidance are, however, not quite so predictable. Should the UK be preparing for mandatory masking?! #facemasks #NewNormal #StaySafe https://t.co/wsqpYkOU0K

[This Little Hobo @thislittlehobo]

#covidwaste is ending up in the ocean 😥 There's plenty of reusable face masks available and latex gloves do more harm than good. Please opt for a fabric face covering of some description and lose the latex (responsibly!) 🙏 #sad #scuba #diver https://t.co/XdHgaM9rx6
