Day 73 - Virtual escape room

I started my Sunday morning, as usual, with a long run while chatting to Fiona on the phone. I headed out along the Lee Road, into the beautiful countryside and then came back along the other side of the river. I’ve started driving down to the start of my run because my calves are starting to complain about all of the uphill walking that I do after every run!

In the afternoon, me and Peter headed out to meet Brendan, Megan and baby Maura in Tramore Valley Park. It was a lovely sunny day, so it was nice sitting on the grass chatting. It’s difficult to make a baby do social distancing though! Maura kept crawling towards us and the others kept having to pull her back! We chatted for about two hours, and it was strange saying goodbye at the end. None of us were really sure how to leave, because normally you’d hug or something! It was hard not to go close to baby Maura too because normally your instinct with babies is to play with them.

I’d a few hours of sunshine in the evening to read my Normal People book and I also spent half an hour cutting out the necessary material for our Virtual Room Escape in the evening. Then me, Fiona, Mia, mum and Anna met on Zoom to do the virtual room escape. It was brilliant! There were all sorts of clever puzzles to put together and, as usual, Mia was the one who solved the final, pivotal clue for us. Of course there was also the usual situation where the Cualanor gang ended up frantically shouting things like “tell me which one is for the lips!” or “what do you mean Blacksheep Enterprises?!” Room escapes would not be the same without them. Haha! I laughed so much, shouting things frantically back at them too!Read more
