I should think most of us are once more experiencing events that were denied us since the start of the pandemic. On line communication has served its purpose and I would still prefer AGM’s and other meetings to be done on line for their swiftness, but it can't replace the real thing.
Radio
We are now able to resume our monthly radio
programme, The Deli, at the recording studio. While
we have been away the newly acquired property next door to the original renovated
chapel has been refurbished Virtual Tour – Chapel FM
Gardening
club
Our gardening group, Friday Forum, has met up again in each other’s gardens which has been delightful, with the added bonus of cake.
Freddie
Against all my protests and threats to leave
home, we have acquired a very mischievous puppy called Freddie. He wasn’t being looked after by the owner so
we removed him early and had to feed him with a syringe. Freddie has now doubled in size, chewed everything
in sight but now sleeps though the night. He was supposed to be a mix of French Bull Dog and Shih Tzu (Bullshit?) but I don't think so!

Walking
Tennis
After not lifting a tennis racquet for
decades, I have taken a course of walking tennis at a local club. It does not entail, as my son questioned, passing a
balloon over the net, but uses less pressurised balls which are allowed to
bounce twice.
Walking Tennis | LTA will tell you more about it. The lessons were free and funded by Sports England so they may be running courses near you.
Nisa
Nashim
Our local branch of Jewish and Muslim women
were able to meet up again face-to-face and plan our events for this year.
I still haven’t managed to meet up with
family abroad and hope it won’t be much longer.
I may even go clothes shopping this week, to
replace items chewed to bits by the puppy.
I have received both vaccinations but I shall probably continue to wear
a mask indoors.
What new or renewed activities have you been
doing and how do you feel about resuming your former life?
