Thank goodness for Zoom
The app is doing mighty fine in this time of isolation
Even in this tiny part of Wales
Tonight my family got together for a simple quiz
Nothing showy
Nothing flash
A child reading the questions out
A funny wisecracking nephew
A surprise of a decorated toilet roll as first prize!!
It was lovely
I love my family
Yesterday the Choir met and sang a much loved African song about a hypochondriac !
We clapped and sang and as always it was a bunfight of noise and chatter and giggles about silly things, brief personal news and of course of Lindi's Charlie
( Charlie is in fact a dog!)
I love my choir
Speaking of dogs Hattie called around for some more "Mary Time" today
I feel this could be the start of a new business venture
That toilet roll prize is worth its weight in... err... gold.
ReplyDeleteIt had a rosette on it and everything
Deletemary as therapy dog - love the idea!
ReplyDeleteYes, rent Mary out by the hour as a therapy dog and her spaying will pay for itself!
ReplyDeleteOur CBS Evening News just showed your Welsh goats in the street in a segment illustrating the change in the atmosphere and wildlife boldly exploring "civilization" - also mentioned how working at home can be a reality going forward, keeping the air cleaner, as well as a lot of other things. We may be entering a new era different in so many ways - for the better, we hope. (Sorry I'm off subject.)
ReplyDeleteSo happy there's a way now for families to connect. It's a new chapter everywhere!
I heard about sheep in Wales visiting McDonald's on the news too x
DeleteI figured out virtual backgrounds, I have been in front of a hill covered in sheep at meetings this week.
ReplyDeleteI envy all your Zoom connectedness, a little. The only people I video chat with are coworkers...but honestly, I can't think of a whole lot of people I'd like to stare at onscreen. My family's not one for silly fun, sadly.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Zoom because of sound and vision issues and too many people talking at once. Very annoying.
ReplyDeleteWill you be able to arrange time off from your job to be able to stay home with Mary while she recovers after her vet's appointment? I know it's not a dangerous or devastating procedure that she'll go through, yet it was a comfort to me and my animals that afterwards I brought them home&stayed there with them for a while.-Mary
ReplyDeleteThe vet has cancelled all non urgent surgery . So I will have to wait for things to settle down mary
DeleteAre you stealing my Rent-A-Dog idea?
ReplyDeleteMarvelous!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Earth Day, too. :)
Hugs!
Zoom is fantastic. We just took part in an entertaining and informative Zoom'ed interview with Erik Larson, au. of "The Splendid and the Vile" about Churchill in 1940-41.
ReplyDeleteI wish Zoom did subtitles!!
ReplyDeleteSince we have FaceTime, WhatsApp, and Skype, we hadn't bothered with Zoom. But then two of our nephews arranged calls, so we've not got that, too. Have to admit, I was impressed with the quality of sounds and visuals. Hope they've got their security issues resolved.
ReplyDeleteLove ZOOM!! Since the whole office is working from various homes we all get togethre on Mondays via ZOOM and it is great!! We started off with SKYPE but it was not as efficient as ZOOM so we stuck with ZOOMing....
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I can't get my family to even Skype with me one-on-one, much less Zoom all together!
