Ultimate live streaming

I remember watching a web cam from a waterhole in South Africa decades ago. They’ve come a long way! Check out some of these sites if you’re stuck for something to watch. It’s best to try and remember time zones. If you are watching during daylight hours, you need to watch a cam in your time zone. Night time - northern hemisphere is best. Some don’t buffer so well, some are pretty good. Some cams are also more sophisticated and follow the action!

April

Whilst the world grapples with the current crises, life goes on. The streets are quieter as we bunker down and learn how to cope with not being able to see and hug family and friends.

Keeping in touch via messaging on smart phones, Facebook, or any of the other social media sites, and for the more advanced, there is FaceTime, Skype, or apps like that. Chatting with the grandchildren takes on a whole new meaning as they learn to not drop phones and point it where they want you to look!

The kindness and resourcefulness of people never ceases to amaze me, and it seems most are determined that no-one is left behind. Disadvantage is a given, but hopefully governments of all persuasions will enact those provisions they’ve put in place before more damage is done.

In the meantime, fire up that sense of humour and buckle up - it may be a long ride!

COVID19 and the community

It seems that no-one is immune from the flow-on effects of the virus.

As many of our volunteers are older, groups are sensibly cancelling meetings for the next few months. Please check with your executive group either by phone or email to see what is happening with your group.
