Vicki,
Am so happy for you and Dohn deciding to go to the Blue Mountains. The break
away will do you the world of good.
I honestly haven’t a clue about Zoom so am no help there. Had our “computer
p/tv guy” around the other day to set us up with Zoom so Geoffrey and I could
chat while I am/ was? In Spain and he just said use Skype, it is the same
thing. That is far as we got. Talk about confused.com🤔😩. It really would be
nice to see each other, As may not be possible are any of you on WhatsApp?
Could at least try to get in touch, especially to those alone, I.e. Kelly and
Estela.
Loving your cactus lights too Steve. Here is where I went for a coffee in our
village, dark, and only 4 pm.

Okay… Dohn and I have decided to go ahead with our plans to visit the Blue
Mountains, so will have a shortish road trip of around 4 hours during Christmas
Day, but are still flexible and can definitely drop into a Zoom call briefly
(will be on mobile data!) after 8pm… which is morning for Europe, but early
morning or the middle of the night for the US. Tricky! I think we need a table
with people’s availability or semi-commitment to tune in, ’translated’ into
different time zones, along with whatever email people want to use for Zoom
invites. That way folks can connect with who they want at convenient times.
While the removal of the Zoom free time limit is great, it’s not like we can
keep an empty room open, so we’ll need contact details.
I’m working right up to tomorrow (Christmas Eve) too, though I hope to finish
at lunch time then hit the shops and battle the madding crowds for what we need
to take away. So if someone else wants to sort this out please do!
Otherwise I’ll probably just resort to putting a table in an email and people
can add themselves and hit reply. Not ideal, but I don’t have time to set up
anything better at the moment.
Your house looks awesome, Steve! Love the cactus lights haha!
Vicki. :-)

Hi Vicki
It would be nice to “see” everyone - it would just depend what time it would
be as to whether I could do it. Personally, a later time like after 8 or 9pm
would work better for me (you can see my cactus Christmas lights) , and that
might be a better time for other countries?
Merry Christmas…
Steve

Hi folks,
I was just saying to Jules that I wanted to follow through on setting up a
Christmas meetup on Zoom, then the very next thing I turned to in my email was
a link to this:
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.nytimes.com/2020/12/18/realestate/zoom-cocktails-holidays.html__;!!Nd8K6TfUt9jcQpcU_mCx!7tvmU5L6pwh53ECrKqDRsBWnRXWYZeVpU_F8Dnt7SUZmhuQXghlWY_OiYgWTioPsgVbbGR9h$>

It says you have the most amount of success in such meetings when people have
something to DO rather than just stare at each other on the screen. I guess
such a meeting does have the potential to be awkward. It’s not like those of us
spending Christmas alone can even sit down together virtually to our Christmas
meal given the massive time zone differences.
And because you get a maximum of 40 mins free on Zoom before having to initiate
a new call, so it’s not like a ‘room’ where people can drop in and out of at
will, it honestly might be better to just arrange to catch up by Zoom
individually at mutually suitable times.
What are everyone’s thoughts?
Vicki. :-)
