Footloose, baby...

On Friday nights for maybe 2 months now, there are a group of 5 of us that do a video call. Usually for an hour or two, once a marathon 3 hours. We cover off our weekly COVID-19 updates in our respective cities and countries, of course, but we cover off a variety of life on our calls. Everyone has been to Oaxaca except Shirley, and this gap we expect to be fully remedied once The Stupid has passed.

Tonight we decided that today would be a 1984 theme, and Claire, Len and Erin all did hair and make-up for the call. The side pony, crimped hair, finger-less gloves, bangles, you get the idea.

I was my job to do 1984 Trivia, which was fun. Here is the link if you wanted to play.

I look forward to and enjoy catching up with friends who I don't usually have the joy of catching up with often. We all live full lives, so catching each other for a chat is a bit of a Bond-esque skill. Now, we are home. Not traveling, or working, or out at the Local having wine and listening to music.

The Local almost 6 years ago.
Was it the reason we rented our apartment?
I know that COVID has brought about a lot of negative. I also believe it has brought about a lot of positive, and being virtually close to friends has been one.
