Free for All Friday No. 664 by Nan

 I've seen a quote going around social media lately: Can we all agree that in 2015 not a single person got the correct answer to 'Where do you see yourself five years from now?'

Yes, 2020 was a year that most of us would not have predicted. Now that we're moving into a 'new normal', do you find that you're looking back to where you were and what you were doing one year ago? 

For example, while relaxing with friends on a farm, all of us were thinking back to last July, when this very get-together was originally scheduled and had to be canceled. 

When I walk into my mother's building to visit her, I inevitably remember that a year ago I couldn't enter, or that a few months ago I had to take my temperature and wear a mask. 

Do you find yourself referring back to your 2020 organizer more often, to see where you were at this time during that most usual year? 

As always on Friday, feel free to discus anything organizer related. Have a great weekend!

Join the chat here: https://join.skype.com/A85fEyS7HPUP

What do I need? - just a micro-phone and some head phones(in ear phones work fine) and a free Skype account. Using headphones or earphone reduces 'echo' on the call. Video is optional, but a few of us will be on video as well.

It's like long lost friends meeting up for coffee and a catch up.. but don't worry if you have never joined in before... you are an old friend too!

If you have any questions you want to ask then please let us know in the group or before we start.

Come and join in the fun, even if you only pop in to say hello... but don't be afraid to join in the discussion.

If you need any assistance setting up Skype, please pop a comment in this post and I will try and help you get one line. Skype is free for computer to computer calls....

Here is my post on how to improve your Skype audio with headphones or a headset.

Hope to be chatting with you on Sunday 1 August 2021.

Silent Sunday
