Staying Home: Day 93

We had a spectacular storm this afternoon with thunder and lightening and torrential rain turning the road into a river. After it cleared M and I went for a short walk to collect some photographs destined for the archives from someone who lives nearby.


Mostly we are managing to keep the living room pretty tidy, especially considering that there are five of us living here. Today there were two sets of dumbbells lying around, as H did a strength Fiit class this morning (a live one in which she earned more Fit points than anyone else - turns out she is as competitive as her elder sister!) and I did one before lunch. TG had a dance class later on, and M went out for an extra walk this morning while I was working. I'm very impressed with how much exercise we are all getting - the girls are good normally, but it is a notable improvement for M and I.

H cooked dinner (chicken curry and naan bread), then we took part in a quiz with other brass band members. M had been volunteered as quiz master and did a very good job of it. The Zoom meeting was hosted by someone who was able to set up breakout rooms, so that the quiz teams could include people from different households - an excellent idea as it meant that the families of four did not have an advantage over singles, and we all got to chat a bit in our subgroups without the overwhelm of a large Zoom meeting. I ended up on the winning team, which had absolutely nothing to with being married to the quiz master!
