We do have some more good news as we have a new choir member. Peter Foster did his zoom voice test last week and we were very pleased that he passed with flying colours. He did particularly well in the clapping a rhythm – well it looked like his hands were doing it right we just couldn’t hear him 😆. The joy of zoom. Welcome Peter and one day you will all be able to meet us all in person. I hope it is not too much of a shock.
Probably not the best photograph that we will ever get of Peter, I took it off of the video that Lillian made of the Zoom Rehearsal.
There has been 44 views of the Rehearsal so thank you, Lillian, for editing it for us. Have you watched it yet? https://youtu.be/xOiEQelJs4s

Here are my thoughts about our experience over the last few days ,now weeks.
It’s not a very exciting story and from where we are currently sitting, we want that to remain the case!
Steve and I are retired so did not need to go beyond our local shops in these COVID times. We are however quite social animals , so in line with guidelines we have ventured further afield!
No eat ‘out to help out’, but a few gatherings of 6 max ,in garden.
On every occasion we have followed the rules to the letter: sanitizing ,masking, social distancing.
Steve came down with the virus on 30th September, complaining of a headache. No other symptoms. No cough, no temperature, could still smell. We were due to meet some friends for a walk ,so cancelled and booked a test.
Steve has no idea where it sneaked in from but he tested positive. Two days later with again only symptom being a headache, I tested positive. I know who gave it to me!!!!!!
On the positive side;
Getting a test was quick and efficient. Booked on line, tested the same day. Steve at Stoneham Lane. Me, 2 days later in Winchester.
Results as promised within 48 hours,
Follow up phone call was quick, if the advice was a little irrelevant to our situation.
We’re both doing ok but Steve clearly got the bigger dose and is struggling more than me. Still no cough, breathing issues or temperature.
Track and trace has been a little hit and miss to say the least.
Luckily we were able to inform everyone we had been anywhere near and they have all self isolated.
BUT,BUT,BUT…. some have been tested, all negative, others have just stayed at home, no one has any symptoms at all. We have no idea how we caught it. And fingers crossed , don’t appear to have spread it!
It has been a real wake up call for us all . Even being really really careful it still creeps in.
Stay safe.
Xx Gen
