Weekly Notice (Quarantine Edition) 20th April 2020
POSTED BY AMANDA 20/4/20
Hi everyone
I thought I would send out with more links that might help fill some time during our self-isolation. I don't know about you but I am spending a lot of time in the garden and going for long walks. I live near Knocklofty and am really enjoying getting to know it very, very well.
People are still sending me things to share and I would love more. So if you find a good video clip or article or anything else, please send it to me to share with everyone. Also if you have taken photos or have made your own video clip, or would like to send a message to everyone in the choir, please send me those too and I will forward them every 2 weeks. This email only goes to choir members and, in some cases, family members and our Board. It does not go to our supporters, not even ex-members.
I tried to send a clip last time that Rosalind had sent me but it wouldn't work, however it now does. Its a family's take on Les Mis. Marsh Family Faversham viral Coronavirus Lockdown adaptation of Les Misérables song One Day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e2IKKQb0bs
Some of you will remember Kath and Kim on TV. Many of you will have seen this but for those who haven't, Magda Szubanski gets in character as Kath & Kim's Sharon Strzelecki for a COVID-19 dance video with healthcare workers: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8213297/Magda-Szubanski-plays-Kath-Kims-Sharon-Strzelecki-COVID-19-dance-healthcare-workers.html You have to scroll down the article to find the video clip but its worth it!
There are heaps of Coronavirus songs using well-known hits. Among my favourites are:
Do Re Mi - Covid 19 version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMBh-eo3tvE
Coronavirus Rhapsody (based on Bohemian Rhapsody) - Covid19: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Eo9M4-BrJA
Other things I have found include ideas for how to keep yourself occupied while we sit it out:
Putting out your garbage bins in style: https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-04/coronavirus-bin-isolation-outing-viral-costume-facebook-group/12116574
Creative things people are doing in self-isolation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mszZ1iEhGpg
Gentle exercise that can be done in your lounge or bedroom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GZDaQ3Zn70
Finally, an American company (Nomadic Bar), that makes travel videos for destinations around the world, have made a great clip where the destination is your Condominium (ie apartment/flat). It is amusing but has a great message at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChMRAIjR_2s
Take care everyone, keep safe, keep sane, keep sanitising and stay inside.
Cheers - Amanda
