On Tuesday I took part in a Zoom call to celebrate the 60th birthday of my friend Ali, who lives in England.

I think I’ve said this before, but I’ve been to more birthday parties over Zoom in the past few weeks than I normally go in real time, so why was this one different?

Because we danced!! It might have been a bit to do with the fact that while it was only 3 pm here, it was 7 pm in England — and I think Ali and her friends had been partying for a while! They were socially distancing, but it was lovely to see them all in Ali’s lovely garden.

Anyway, when the suggestion about dancing came up, we did some kind of chair dancing, but eventually I picked up my computer and did a salsa around the room!

We’re either getting more and more creative during the pandemic — or more and more desperate!
