It was the 19th of June, the start of summer and a wet and grey day. Oh well, can't have it sunny all the time, eh? At least we were spared getting wet and Zoomed in the comfort of our own homes. We had an enjoyable chat - no games, no quizes for a change … Continue reading Virtual Friday 14

Virtual Friday 13
It was the 12th of June but the 13th time of meeting. Would you believe it? A whole quarter of a year has been spent in virtual meetings! We met on Zoom and admired Judith's latest FO's, all for Sarah's baby. Lovely, aren't they? Liz has also been busy making things for a friend's baby. … Continue reading Virtual Friday 13

I've been busy and feeling a bit lazy this last week and today (the 12th) still hadn't written up our meeting of the 5th. I thought I'd do a combined post covering weeks 12 and 13 but the meeting we had this morning was quite full of info etc that the resulting post would be … Continue reading Virtual Friday 12

15th of May: Another Zoom session and a very enjoyable one too. It's quite interesting to read various comments on social media about the difficulties or otherwise of running meetings remotely. Our experience so far has been relatively painless. We get the occasional connectivity issue - for instance, one of our members wasn't able to … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 9

Nevertheless, people are remembering the anniversary in inventive ways ranging from community lunches where neighbours gather together but separately to have lunch - … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 8

The 1st of May and we're still in lock-down. Although restrictions are being eased in some countries, this isn't happening here in the UK and the government is maintaining its advice of Stay Home etc - you know the rest. Our Zoom meetings are continuing and we have up to 15 ladies present, which is … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 7

After last week's disappointing Zoom session, I was keeping my fingers crossed that this week would be better. And indeed it was, thank goodness. I had visions of running around the house from one room to another trying to find the best reception. For VF-5, I ended up sitting on the stairs. If I get … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 6
If you go down to the woods today…….
you'd better make sure that you keep the required distance and whatever you do, don't take a picnic or you might get arrested! My sister sat down briefly on a bench in Richmond the other day and was asked to move by a policeman. He than sat down himself! (Only joking - about him sitting … Continue reading If you go down to the woods today…….

It's very likely that after restrictions end there will be many groups that just don't get back together again. Not so ours though! I might even consider adding a virtual meeting to the physical park meeting. With better internet access in the park we could combine the two 🙂 Mind you, in the light of … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 5

We had another well attended Zoom meeting today during which we exercised our grey matter with a short quiz. The rules were simple - you just needed to write your answers on paper at home - in private! There was no public naming and shaming or league position, which was just as well as I … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 4
