Choir of High Hopes - Weekly Notice (Quarantine Edition) 5th May

Hi Everyone

I have been asking people to send me photos and things showing what they have been doing.  Dan has sent me some photos.  He has been playing a lot of board games & video games, as well as exercising by taking walks along the beach at Blackmans Bay.

I thought this time I would send You Tube links to some of the songs we sing.  The first link is to a You Tube clip, the second one is a link to the lyrics.  The Zoom Room people suggested these ones but if I haven't included your favourite, let me know and I will include it next time.

Lean on me (Bill Withers)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkaexjc-1oshttps://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/billwithers/leanonme.html

In my looking around I found a couple of clips of animals who know their own mind which I thought I would share:

The dog who did not want to go for a walk:

and then there is the clip of the Numbat with the most amazing tongue:https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-28/yawning-numbat-video-sparks-joy-for-wildlife-photographer/12183310

Finally just a reminder about hygiene to keep COVID-19 at bay : 
Wash your (stinky) handshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fv8div2RjU

Remember to send me photos of what you have been doing or projects you have been working on, as well as your favourite songs.

Take care everyone, keep safe and keep singing

Cheers - Amanda
