helicopter? I wanna see them close up!

this afternoon I went on a picnic! I contacted my bubble buddy about visiting & she was picnic-ing with people I knew so I joined them.

WE SANG IN THE PARK!! It was wonderful.

Picnics with up to 30 fully vaccinated people people are allowed & we were 10, good company, yummy food (cheese!) & good songs, sometimes silly songs. Several songs were variations of songs we all knew - created as the singer was singing! There are some talented songwriters in the Redfern Shanty Club https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/mar/30/a-lot-of-noise-a-lot-of-joy-sydney-sea-shanty-club-singers-raise-the-roof-in-raucous-reunion   ps.This article was published 7 months ago when Sydney came out of our previous lockdown.

Blickifier won't accept the entire URL - weird, it cuts off after "roof" I tried 3 times.

My folk club might be able to meet late November IF things keep opening up, but at the moment the hall does not allow indoor singing & people attending other events have to be masked. And of course, there are restrictions on attendees, 35 instead of the normal 100.
