Zoom zoom zoom… Was part of 4 zoom calls today! First three with classes – year 4, 5 and 7, then later hosting a call for timebankers from around Canterbury. Was great to see the students again but a little dismaying to discover that none of them had seen the videos I’d made for them yet! So I shared my screen to show them where the videos were – hopefully some of them may look at them now. I loved the theme for the year 7 zoom call – they dressed up as mad scientists and looked fantastic!
I spent a couple of hours doing timebank work today as well – putting together our weekly newsletter (The Buzz) this time with a video greeting instead of typed one. I tidied up a number of loose ends which was good – there’s always more to do but am feeling reasonably up to date with TimeBank work.
I finished pruning the hebes in the garden by the letterbox and had a lovely chat with an older neighbour (from a few doors away) who was out on his walk. I spent some time in the kitchen making roast pumpkin fritters, baked potatoes, a salad for dinner and an apple cobbler for dessert. We’ve finally eaten all our pears so just have a few apples left which Antony picked today – they are delicious- too good to cook so I used up apples from the freezer.
Forgot to take photos today – yet another beautiful autumn day! So I’ll just share this one that someone sent me… they took it during our TimeBank zoom earlier tonight…. I think I’m mid sentence.
Such a familiar lockdown look eh! The old zoom calls.
I’ve started watching a new series on TV on demand called Capture. Oooo it is so intriguing. After a 5.30am start this morning I am super tired and should go to bed but I think I’ll sneak in another episode! After two late nights and early mornings I really hope I can sleep in a bit tomorrow!
