Too much time spent on CyB recently hehehe.

Need to get back into playing more banjo, I never even gotten through the Scruggs book I have and I have had that one for must be 8 years now + too mention I also have quite a number of digital learning materials I have bought, some are gathering pixels or no pixels, haha. :p

So ye banjo is an old hobby of nearly 10 years, still amatuer though. hahahha

Lap Steel is one of the newer ones maybe 2 years or less.

Nice way of putting it, Sir! :)
Good to see you back!

With my wife's disability being what it has been for many years, neither of us went out very much before the Corona virus. We miss the occasional dinner at a restaurant and the coffee get togethers at our apartment complex for oldsters like us... but other than and the silly face masks when I do go out, it's not great change. Our family stays in touch by phone and computer, but none of them live next door, so not too much of a change there. I hope things do get back to "normal" before too long before too many people get too rambunctious in the wrong places.

Trusting you and your wife are strengthened day by day in the Lord's goodness. My wife and I have some health issues also and we're not as mobile as some younger folk, so really with the distancing now our routines here in some ways haven't changed a huge amount.

Hi @Rita, good to see you as well! Sorry you've been sick; you're in the UK, right? I hadn't remembered that.

I'm sure that by the time all this distancing is over a lot of us will have figured how to spend our time.

(Bible reading and prayer are particularly recommendable!)

I wasn’t really sick, my son had some of the Covid-19 symptoms, so I couldn’t take any chances with work ( in a care home ) or seeing my dad, so I self isolated to make sure I could not pass anything on.

Oh I see; hoping you will all get over it well.

It's so much a matter of precautions as much as anything, often.
