Our dinner party is expanding

Our dinner party is expanding. I wrote earlier about us having a dinner party for Vince on his birthday on Saturday. However, there was to be just the two of us. Now I think there might be eight people which will be really special. Anna (@LadyDuck) had the brilliant idea of ‘joining’ us and she and her husband will be lunching at 1pm which is our 7pm. They will be having a similar menu and will drink Vince’s health. When we mentioned this to Vince’s brother, they decided to join us on Zoom. I think they’re having the same menu too although I’m not sure of that. Damian in Ireland will have a meal at the same time but they’re vegetarian. Who would have thought, a year ago, that Vince’s next birthday would be celebrated in this way? It was unimaginable at the time. Photo is of Vince and his two brothers on his 70th Birthday.

The photo is from 3 years ago. We've just logged out of Zoom. We enjoyed the evening thanks. And thanks of the good wishes. And there is two hours to go before you'd be 'belated'.

we did a small family party at home for the twins (a week or so ago). The zoom party idea is brilliant!

@DocAndersen One of our comedians hacked into a meeting though so the security issues need to be tightened up a bit.

Only Vince's brother will join us on Zoom. Otherwise, we'll just toast each other's health at 7pm.

The pandemic had made almost the whole world do unconventional things which in my opinion is unprecedented in history. Advanced happy birthday to your husband

Thanks for the good wishes. The pandemic has probably given the technology world a bit of a push as people try to cope with the isolation.

We're hoping to do something similar for Easter. Technology has given us so many tools for working around the social distancing thing. It isn't the same, but it's better than nothing.

It's quite a buzz if you're a bit 'old school' and suddenly you find out you can connect and actually see those nearest and dearest to you.
