Day Four - birthday under lockdown

posted by [personal profile] azdak at 07:50pm on 19/03/2020
Today was my birthday and since we're diligently practising social distancing, the kids couldn't come. Instead we all arranged to cook homemade pizza to be ready by 18:30, then we all went on Skype and cracked open a bottle of wine at each of our respective homes. It was a lovely party and
surprisingly like having the kids here in person, except that when various people got tired and wanted to go bed, they didn't have to go home first.

Happy birthday!

That is a good way of doing it under the circumstances. I'm glad it was fun.

It was actually lovely. Wd agreed at the end to make it a weekly thing because it created such a sense of togetherness.

Happy birthday! That's a great way of doing a party in the circumstances, and you've inspired me to maybe have a Skype lunch at the weekend.

I really recommend it. It genuinely is almost as good as having everyone there in person, and it's actually easier for everyone to join in the conversation because everyone's equally near to a laptop.

Happy Birthday. Excellent way of celebrating under the circumstances; and everyone not having to go home afterwards is a definite bonus.

Be well.

Happy birthday! It was mine last Sunday, and my brother's yesterday.

I'm hoping to talk my family into video calls, not that we're in lockdown yet.
