Great photos Karen - love the sun hats too. Those were the days........... Also yes we’re both well Karen, thanks. Hoping to visit Scotland in the summer - if Nicola lets us in.......
Second pic is of Old Dalby day. It was scorching .... midday on the hottest day of the year and I thought I’d end up as a puddle on the grass come the finish.
Yeah, the parents haven't got used to the fact we're not virtual teaching anymore, so you spend the day teaching at school and come home and login to a load of messages online.
I joked with one of the teachers going home from our village primary school that she was having an early night - turns out they were going to have a two and a half hour staff meeting on Zoom because they couldnt have it in person
And for the last few nights I've been working through to midnight editing together the March virtual school concert we're before Easter, so it's been a bit of a busy start to the week.
Hello everyone. School was pretty exhausting to be honest Allan, both yesterday and today. I am avoiding touching any furniture in any of the classrooms I go into - which means no leaning on desks, sitting down or even propping myself up against the wall, and having spent the last month sat down all day, suddenly standing straight for 6 hours a day is pretty exhausting.
Night all.
Goodnight all
A great night! See y’all next week 😎😀
Goodnight evbods
have a good week
Take care all and bye for now.
Thanks JB and everyone. Seee you all next week. All the best

Let's finish the evening by giving this one a second try, Sweet Home Chicago - Bonny Vista Social Club - YouTube and also Wipeout | BBB VR - YouTube in your own time please everyone
Thanks all, have a great evening and stay safe :)
I will see you all at that 'next gig' very soon!!
If only
Next gig is beginning of April Neil, JJ is sending out the details tomorrow, so make sure your lip is in!
Fly Me to the Moon was one of Sophia Loren's choices on Desert Island Discs a couple of weeks ago (not our version, though)
it will take time Neil
Well, I have to do more practice... when's our first gig...?? only joking...
another vocal, great
Next up something a bit lighter Fly Me To the Moon | BBB VR - YouTube at 8.18 please
As in 'we hope she hasn't come here'!!
Hope she is!
She might not be there by then.
Ooh don't try and discuss politics with her Carol!
Great photos Karen - love the sun hats too. Those were the days........... Also yes we’re both well Karen, thanks. Hoping to visit Scotland in the summer - if Nicola lets us in.......
Phew, Chris!
the song that is
yes lets do it
There was going to be something like that, wasn't there (but let someone else organise it!)
That aside, let's carry on with one final song for the evening - one of my favourites, Can't Take My Eyes Off You | BBB VR - YouTube at 8.10 please
We should organise an Old Harby Day... - the band could be centre stage!
No I think not
it will never Run again Derek
Yes, I know. Really sad
Yes its finished for good now
Nice one Karen
Two really good events - thanks Karen!
I miss Old Dalby Day
Second pic is of Old Dalby day. It was scorching .... midday on the hottest day of the year and I thought I’d end up as a puddle on the grass come the finish.
We could do with a bit of the sun in no2
I think that first gig at Long Clawson was one of our most successful!
This was the first gig I did with band and I remember the hall (Long Clawson) being rammed and it was a great night all round.
Let's take a short break, Karen you have selected the photos for this week, would you like to tell us why you selected these two.
Also, I need a volunteer to select next week's photos please.
