How is everyone doing??

I am loving the free streaming of plays/theatre shows!! Watched One man, two Gov'nors on Thursday. Tonight I am watching Joseph & the amazing technicolor raincoat, a very young Donny Osmond :kiss:

Wow! That's quite a list, newdot. Thanks for posting it.
I'm managing not too bad during the lockdown and being very careful if I do need to go out. I've accepted that it's possible we're in for the next 12 weeks and if lockdown ends sooner, then great. In some ways it may be easier for me than some as I live on my own and quite happy with my own company . ...though I'm missing my cinema trips . . . but apart from that, I'm doing as I'm told and hope we'll all still be here at the end.
A BIG THANK YOU to any FMUKERS who are essential workers and cannot stay safely at home but maybe wish they could . . . we all appreciate the jobs you are doing. Take care and stay well. xx
Preferred cinemas: Best: Glasgow Quay, Glasgow Braehead, Glasgow Renfield Street, Glasgow Fort & Paisley
Others I'd go to: Glasgow Showcase Baillieston

Films already booked for:

Hope to get tickets for: Every film if they come to my preferred cinemas
