Singing to keep warm

The carol service went better than it could have done. Backing music for the carols made such a difference. But how did people with hearing aids and glasses cope with the pandemic? It was impossible to have all three - including mask - on my ears at the same time! 

On a number of occasions, as I tried to adjust one or the other my hearing aid went flying off. Oh, yes, I decided to wear a mask to be extra careful as Husband has a hospital appointment on Monday and who knows what they will say?

Before we started a member of a biker gang dropped off some buffet left-overs, others brought mince pies and cookies, and we had ourselves a feast.

I did take a short video of the gang singing and if I can work out how to transfer it to my puta I'll share it later. 


Everyone's wearing coats because the boiler broke the year before last - when we were still planning big renovations so didn't repair it - so we have no heating except a tiny electric radiator.

Good turnout for the. carol singing!

What happened to the renovation? I think I missed this.
I'm told you need masks that tie at the back, not loop over your ears, to deal with hearing aids and glasses! I can certainly believe it. No room otherwise.

Great idea to have music to accompany the singing.

I had to resort to the masks with two elastics, neither of which went around the ear.

Back when we were all wearing masks, mine would constantly get tangled in my hearing aids

It was!

We've had to downgrade the plans. Cost had risen too much.

It made such a difference.

That's what I need.
