Jamie and his now robust 1940's RAF moustache , had everyone donning hats and sharing personal " pink" photos which gave the meet a lightness which usually comes from Lyndi showing off her Charlie !
I did manage to log in as the Choir was giving Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah a good bash and as everyone sang in their own little rectangles I could see that one friend was having a hard time with the emotion of the song and instead of singing to the camera was glazing out of her window
I texted her a " hug" and she nodded its arrival
I'm a hugger, as so many of us are ......
Last week at work handover one of the support workers was saying her goodbyes on her last shift after resigning . She was crying so hard that social isolation rules went out of the window and a queue formed for hugs and kisses to be shared
I know, I know.......enough already on the lecture
Two minutes before I was standing arm in arm with the same support worker as we turned a patient
So a hug when oh so needed, in my book was allowed .
Without a doubt. A friendly hug would be nice right now. It feels like a bit of a thing of the past.
ReplyDeleteHugs xxxx
DeleteAgree with you John, my friend hugged her neighbour after his wife passed away (not covid19), sometimes it just has to happen.
ReplyDeleteHey no lectures from me, sometimes a hug is needed no matter what xx
ReplyDeleteWhat I wouldn’t give for a hug today! These are the cruelest of times.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I found this for you.

Did you catch Carole King's cameo near the end?
DeleteYes and it all brings back the tracks of my youth.
Deletevirtual {{{{{hugs}}}}} from philly!
ReplyDeleteHUGS from afar, we need to remember our humanity, while trying to save humanity.
ReplyDeleteI love these videos of dozens of people zooming together to recreate something that social distancing has made forbidden. Yesterday I watched one from Juilliard students and alumni doing Bolero that was super cool.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs...
XOXO
It is one of the worst things to come from this virus, having to be distant from people when you are in the same room.
ReplyDeleteThere is absolutely no way to social distance while nursing. I completely understand your logic and I can't help but agree.
ReplyDeleteExactly
DeleteSometimes a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do John.
ReplyDeleteEven a virtual hug from you would be good.
Hug x
Delete"Hallelujah" is a pretty intense song even under the best of circumstances. As for the hug, we all have to make our own decisions about what's warranted and when, right?
ReplyDeleteThe words are quite brutal are they not
DeleteSometimes you just HAVE to hug. I can't wait to see my Mum ... I owe her soooo many hugs.
ReplyDeleteX
DeleteI love this song I always get goose bumps .
ReplyDeleteOur arrangement is very like this one
DeleteMy favourite is K D Lang version. 😘
DeleteThere are times, even now, when only real hugs will do.
ReplyDeleteThe harmonies heard and the faces seen in Hallelujah were glorious. Ta!
Wash your hands, wear clean clothes, hold your breath and hug!
Hugs!
Happier days ahead
DeleteFor you John! https://www.facebook.com/rosana.onockocampos/videos/10219871646676130/
ReplyDeleteThat was quite beautiful
DeleteThank u
I can't listen to this right now. Too emotional for me as well as your choir friend.
ReplyDeleteSending you a virtual hug John!
Hugs were so needed just then. May you all stay well and feel loved. And thanks for sharing that beautiful Hallelujah.
ReplyDeleteOf course you are a hugger. I hope you realise just how many of us take away virtual hugs from your posts.
ReplyDeleteStay well, stay safe - and keep being yourself.
The power of a hug is immeasurable and I love the image of your co workers lining up to hug. They and you are made of the right stuff.
ReplyDeleteHad somebody broken her window - the choir member I mean.
ReplyDeleteI sang along. How beautiful.
ReplyDeletewhat are personal ''pink'' photos?
ReplyDeleteBeing a huge Leonard Cohen fan this is such a favourite of mine. Love love love it. This is a beautiful version, thank you. Sometimes only a hug will do. Keep doing what you are doing and we are all wishing you to stay safe. X
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to social distance when someone simply needs a hug. It is human nature.
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the power of a heartfelt hug !
ReplyDeleteOne Birthday the only gift I got was a lovely hug from a fellow Playgroup young Mum...Priceless.
That is absolutely beautiful, thank you. This song was played two weeks ago as we entered the room to farewell my dear Dad. It always brings me to tears and this version was no exception. I agree, there are moments when common sense must prevail and hugs are mandatory. Big hugs to you from Australia. Margaret
ReplyDeleteKD Lang's version is also my favourite Margaret.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
I find this lack of basic human contact very frustrating; I don't see it ever returning.
ReplyDeleteOh, this version of Hallelujah is amazing! I've heard so many versions and I must say this is one of the best for me.
ReplyDeleteA hug is worth a thousand words...
ReplyDeleteLX
I only just wondered the other day that when I next meet my relatives or friends perhaps we won't hug any longer.Earlier today whilst in my front garden I spoke to a lady with her dog walking past.She stopped and I became a bit nervous after a while and said-do you think we are far enough apart.I even afterwards checked the curb and I hope we were ok.She mentioned that her neighbour could no longer stroke her dog.When lockdown is loosened I don't think dogs will be allowed to run up to other dogs or people either x
ReplyDeleteI checked the cctv not the curb(the predictive text is very bossy and insistant)x
