Dilemma solved by higher powers

[wiseheart]

By this morning, I've come to the decision that I'll go to school, wave my girls from the distance, drop off their season-opening gifts (a bunch of the patchwork cards) and won't stay for the actual choir practice. I felt really bad about it, but didn't want to expose Mum to any possible infections.

However, the PTB were obviously ahead of me, as choir practices as such have been summarily prohibited by the Ministry of Health, as of today. So I did go to school (since I had to pre-pay for the eggs I order every month), waved my girls (all four of them who were still in) from the distance, dropped off the season-opening gift on everyone's desk and left again. If only the Ministry guys could have made up their minds a bit earlier, no-one of us would have worked ourselves up about the whole thing.

I wonder if this will happen again here as well.

There are no guarantees, I'm afraid.

I'm a bit glad about your decison.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I know it would have been the sensible thing to do. It's just so bloody hard sometimes.

I guess they make asses of themselves as usual, in the meanwhile the rest of us pick up the pieces,

To be fair, people in general are bloody idiots, not caring about the rules that might help keeping the virus under some semblance of control...

[disthrainsdotte.livejournal.com]

Some people here are also bloody idiots, they think the rules do not apply to them. Is it too much to ask for that people who stand in line keep away from each other and do not breathe down each other´s necks? Not to mention avoid crowding in the busses?

Well at least it solves the problem, but I know you miss your singing so I hope you can start again soon.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid it will take a long time yet. Things appear to spiral out of control at the moment.

{{{{hugs}}}} It was a hard decision.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

And I'm proud to have it made before TPTB would have made it for me. Still, it hurts not to be able to sing together.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

I think you should be proud.

Sounds like you're locking down slowly too. In the UK, from next Monday, we have a strange rule that prohibits gatherings over six, unless it's a gathering over six. I hope that makes as much sense to you as it does to me.

Sounds... erm... interesting.

So sorry about your choir practice, even if it is for the best, it is an event you enjoy. I know many choirs here are doing virtual practice and/or virtual performance. Is that an option for you guys? I find I am watching more TV and streamed video since Covid-19, especially music related.

The Oldies did virtual practice all summer long, but I don't have the technical know-how (or the necessary tech parts) for it. Besides, I don't think I'd enjoy that. If we can't come together and sing as a group, I'd rather study the notes on my own and learn the pieces alone.
