Strange days

We're living in very strange times. In difficult days we usually turn to our friends for support and while we can telephone them, we can't meet up with them presently. What's making this period of social distancing more manageable is social media and technology. We can at least keep in touch and have virtual meet ups. I'm used to this in work and with family and friends but not so much with my writing groups. I had one of these virtual meetings during the week with some writing pals, another one today and a further one is planned next week.
Today was the morning we should have been back in Coney Island, and we were, virtually. Thanks to technology and a willingness to 'keep calm and carry on' we had a virtual meet up.

With the wonders of technology we were able to catch up on each others' writing news, drink coffee and still get a glimpse of the Coney shore thanks to Maddie. And of course there was baking, although I could only share the chocolate queen cakes virtually. Technology hasn't advanced so much yet that we can taste cake virtually - maybe that's still to come

But believe me they were VERY good!
