Many thanks to those who joined in our New Year's Eve Zoomathon. Just a few of us, but it was a super enjoyable way to spend the evening in the midst of all the current restrictions.
Based on the Radio Two 'Three-Word Thursday' we began with 'Three Word 2020'. Here are our responses ...
"What, no hugs!!" "Ohhhhh, no travel 😞"
"Dramas in pyjamas." "Stuck at home 😠"
"Kitchen - Bed - Computer."
"Flights cancelled again!!"
"Many long walks"
(FACTOID: between Jan 26th - Dec 31st 2020 Mrs Pauline Jackson has walked 5,847,271 steps!!!)
We had several quizzes - Aiste's Christmas Quiz, Cities in the Snow (Joy was definitely the winner here) and 'Zoomed In' which consisted of 12 famous landmark images zoomed to 500% - as the image is zoomed out slowly the number of points reduces - Aiste & Basel raced ahead of the pack with well over 200 points!!
We also played Blankety Blank and Hangman, both of which worked well 😀😀
We talked about who we would invite to dinner - anyone past or present who we'd want to spend an evening with. What an interesting bunch of people we chose ... Einstein, Jesus, Buddha, Cleopatra, Nelson Mandela, Professor Brian Cox, John Lennon, Queen Elizabeth, Mr Bean, Mother Teresa, Terry Waite, Boris Johnson and many more (some of whom I didn't know).
Our evening was brought to a close by us writing together an
A-Z of Hope for 2021
It was a really enjoyable evening lots of fun and laughs! Thank you, Lynne, for organising it and congratulations on your marvellous Zoom skills!!
