Wednesday a Zoom day

 
Wednesday afternoon I join a Zoom meeting Women Together Workshop a time of sharing & caring learning & empowering women from all around the world.  We have a number of women that have settled here in London and are building on English as a second language... But among us we have ten different languages so can have fun learning words and sentences from all the languages ... and sharing recipes, art, poetry, books. music and culture from our various motherlands. This week we were all struggling with the heatwave and growing thunderstorm pressure so had fun making fans to keep cool.  But I made them aware of the secret messages of holding a fan in the Victorian days...which was a laugh as we began to think this was like texting hhhh as you fancied a man from across the ballroom in your ball gown... I have found this article in Sothebys The Secret Language of Fans now will your reply be a resting on your left or right cheek... lol  

 

Then in the evening I attended a Medact zoom on Freedom of Information which was fascinating! Some good interactive work in break out rooms too. Zoom on learning and sharing together!
