It is a wild and windy first Friday of a new month (weather in GLA, clock running a few hours ahead) So please gather round and share with us – what have you been listening to, watching, reading, getting up to in general?

And as we seem to be moving out of all the restrictions, at least here in the UK – is there anything coming up we should know about?

Apologies for the late appearance – I had a very busy Friday and Saturday, and thanks to @Gatz for the reminder that I had not yet sent the flare up into the dark sky, inviting everyone to share their joy from the last month

As tradition demands, we will now gather round, warm ourselves by the flickering candle, and recount the music, books, tv shows and films that have sustained us through the past month.

How are we all doing ?

Pinch, Punch, First Of The Month.

It’s that time again – what’s shakin’ – (apart from the leaves on the trees) ?

Paxman Voice Well, you all know the rules, which never change, so let’s just get on with it, shall we?

What’s been keeping you sustained over the last month?

Come all ye, gather round the Zoom call, please make sure you are un-muted, and share with us what you have been reading / watching / listening to / using as a crutch to get through it all

NEARLY OVER!! Here in Glasgow, we are tiptoeing out of lockdown, after 270 days of pretty tight restrictions. How are we all doing ? What has been keeping you going ? What have you been enjoying this last month?

…. as we puzzle over how to change the time on the clock in the car, and settle for remembering it is out for the summer, please gather round and share whatever you have been enjoying listening to, watching, reading, playing or in any other way drawing sustenance from.

Here’s hoping lockdown eases off safely for everyone!

Whoosh! (or was it?)

Please gather round and tell us all – what have you been watching / reading / listening to / playing / using to stave off the screaming ab-dabs ?

First Friday in February – Felicitations!

As Paxman says “you all know the rules so we might as well get on with it”.

How was January ? What’s helping you to keep going ?

Come gather round, adjust your headset, make sure you are not on mute, and share with us – what have you been listening to, watching, reading, or otherwise enjoying ? What has helped you get through November ?

It is the first Friday of a new month, so come gather round the virtual firepit, help yourself to a glass of good cheer, and tell us all – what have you been listening to, reading, watching or otherwise occupying your time with?

it’s the first Friday of a new month, as far as these things matter any more, so please check your headsets, unmute yourselves and re-join the zoom call to share with us all what you have been watching / listening to / reading / generally getting up to to get through the current circumstances.

any positives from the experience ?

any suggestions for the rest of the Massive ?

Still here! Still not going out! Please log in to the video conference, pour yourself a cup of something refreshing, make sure you are un-muted, and then share with us all – what have you been listening to, watching , reading or playing this month ?

And – how are you coping ? Any suggestions or tips to share ?

FINALLY we crawl out of the longest January in living memory. Please join me in the bower, have a seat by the firepit, help yourself to a glass of good cheer and share with us – what have you been listening to, watching, and reading this month ?

And is there anything coming up we should all be aware of ?
