Yesterday, nine of us met in a church parking lot and played for over an hour. We were distanced and wore masks, but the singers sang. (I'm not a singer.) All of us had both our Covid shots.
Two things were funny: as people arrived, we weren't sure who they were, and they didn't recognize us. I haven't cut my hair in over a year, and I haven't shaved in a couple of months, so even without a mask, some people don't recognize me. Also, we had difficulty talking to each other and being understood. It's surprising how much we rely on seeing lip movement to understand what people are saying.
It was windy, and that was a problem. I'll have to give that some thought. Using my Kindle didn't work in the bright sun, but we all had our yellow and blue Beloff books.
It was definitely invigorating playing with the group again. I was energized for the rest of the day.
