Here's a video that Janis Ian shared earlier https://www.facebook.com/lizzyandthetriggermen/videos/225291238709518/

And here's the Rosaleen Linehan from an 80s Late Late Show.

Sounds like a good way to spend the day :) We were able to go out and walk today and there is a bird by my window calling to its mate insistently.

I saw a few people on Pillowfort taking part in that paintings challenge! It was neat to see their efforts. It reminded me a little of Disney bounding.

Thank you! And focussing on other things is important - especially if the virus comes top close. ((hugs))

<3 Walks are nice. I should go for a walk, actually... And we have plenty of birds!

I love how they range from the sublime to the ridiculous. :)

The Arnolfini Portrait recreation is EPIC.

The 'hat' is genius.

What this plague needs, frankly, is more absurdism.

[elisi]

I concur.

Loved the concerts.

I love how social media can bring people together. Despite all the rubbish, it can also do wonderful things! <3
