Short giggle gems:
- Mel Brook’s son gives a reason for social distancing
- The wonderful Judy Dench
- Zoo is closed, penguins are let out to explore. Imagine how they get down the stairs…
- Creative mind at play
- Super silliness from the emergency lock-down in Italy
Two absorbing resources:
- For children – Scouts’ 100 games and activities for “The great indoors.”
- Learn to tie knots and what each is good for. Why not? Two good sites here and here.
Two audio treats:
- Famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma is posting Songs of Comfort – here’s the first (short)
- YouTube birdsong with forest view (long; excellent improvement for indoor living)
And two collective actions:
- Choir choir choir – Canada’s duo famous for big-group sing-alongs – did a virtual sing-along; thousands joined in. (They plan to do more.)
- At 7:30 pm every night, take 5min to make a loud happy noise outside in thanks to our healthcare workers. Clap, sing, whatever. On my street a couple of nights ago we had a bagpipe, singers, garbage-bin drummers … all 6’ apart and that works just fine : )
