If you have someone who uses it already then they can send you a link and you just have to click. <br /><br />Thank you for the friends links - I’m hoping I can persuade her something a little more local might be just as good, but who knows when we will be back to free movement again? <br /><br />And M; it’s closer isn’t it? Hard to be so reliant on others, hard to accept that doing nothing is the best option when people close to us are risking themselves daily.

I've heard that they have been considering a Friends reunion - A should send them her script as they might incorporate at least part of it!<br /><br />Ooh, I just did a search for "virtual tour of Friends sites in New York" and the following two videos popped up! The first is of sites, the second is of the designer of their apartment. I did NOT view either, so please do so before allowing A to - just in case! I am hoping, though, that A will find them entertaining - and perhaps even helpful as she continues her screenwriting project! At the least, it might also tide A over until she builds up enough in her new bank account to take that very, very expensive trip!<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFJfLClsRSg<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdLOIPyL9ws<br /><br />By the way, one of my son's college roommates is from Sri Lanka, and he said he practiced his English by watching Friends. I think he knows EVERY word of EVERY episode!<br /><br />I'm pretty much of a homebody anyway, but am beginning to miss seeing humans after not leaving the house for 3 1/2 weeks now. Is Zoom hard to use? Perhaps I can get a friend or family member to "visit" with me that way.<br /><br />Ann in VirginiaAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789254472476830498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411253170651203836.post-51620496453905807312020-04-04T23:29:09.870+01:002020-04-04T23:29:09.870+01:00I switched the news off days ago.

None of it helps maintain peace and even-ness (if that's a word) of mind. <br /><br />I haven't been outside in 2 weeks (because I'm an asthmatic) but that only mattered this week when people I knew started getting dangerously ill. I now know 12 people who probably have, or have had, COVID. (I say "probably" because only 2 have been tested). Only 1 had to be hospitalised and he's since been discharged. <br /><br />I know these restrictions are necessary, but they're hard to live with when people you care about are getting sick and you're worried about what may happen to them next. <br /><br />And you're right; all we have to do is stay indoors where I at least live in ease and comfort. I know NHS key workers who are running real risks in what they do, so I shouldn't whinge. I'm trying to count the positives and be grateful for what I have, which is much more than many people have. It shouldn't be as hard as it sometimes is. mq cbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906606306547558836noreply@blogger.com
