Friday

Charlie, Simon, Pete, Dave & Tim met in the Zoom-hosted virtual pub.

We had to wait for Pete, who thought it was next week.

Dave remarked on Pete's new job title (yes, yet another one) - and showed it in the group chat ...

And this made some of us envisage this ...

After Tim had disappeared to help Sam with Ben's bath-time, they returned ...

The Usual Suspects

When we reached 8.30pm, Simon's double-booking kicked in - an online poker & chat seesion with his brother & mates - to which Charlie was invited. He & Simon multi-tasked, playing poker and chatting (mostly NOT about poker *cough, cough*)

We were then told the story of how Pete managed to get a great, wall-mounted, high-cost photo of his daughters, by using a low-price Groupon

And then we got to hear about Simon's wall-mounted facsimile of a chocolate chip cookie, made from leaves

As usual, Pete was moving between several locations within the west wing of his vast mansion, until he finally found the place we all liked the best - because we couldn't see him in the dark

It was another great catch-up, with much fun and the usual banter.

We agreed to do it all again soon - and looked forward to getting out of lockdown, imposed because of this dreaded virus.
