Diversions for those stuck at home

I don't know if it's available around the world, but The Metropolitan Opera will be streaming archived performances nightly for free, each one available for 20 hours:

"Every evening, The Metropolitan Opera will stream a free encore presentation from their award-winning Live in HD series. All streams will begin at 7:30 EDT and will remain available via the homepage of metopera.org for 20 hours."

I just checked it out and was able to watch. They were showing Lucia di Lammermoor.

Thanks.

TVC is reading, I am doing a jigsaw puzzle and Merl is sunbathing.

Looks like our Mindy, except that as soon as she realized you were taking note of her, she would start putting on a show by twisting herself around and about.

This will be my diversion for the next few weeks:

Dr. Rhythm!

It's a little personal drum-and-bass machine that I bought 15 years ago, probably, with the intention to use as a practice tool.

While it has tons of preloaded drum-bass loops, I was more interested in creating my own. I spent 15 minutes with it when I first bought it, deemed it too confusing, and stuck it back in its box.

Now, I'm ready for round 2...

Lots of museums and galleries are doing virtual tours along with their usual online displays. Here are a few in the UK that might be of interest: in order, we have the National Portrait Gallery, National Gallery, Natural History Museum, British Museum and Ashmolean Museum. All are in London except the Ashmolean, which is in Oxford.

Thanks all for the streaming links .
Garden, walk around the block, sit on the patio and read, visit Cookingbites, work on household and yard projects, watch old movies, COOK. Last but not least - love your wife, husband, partner.

I see a 1000 piece jigsaw turned up? Daughter I think? I wonder who will start it?? Funny listening to mr7 doing his homework via Internet, you try and say 66 with 6 front teeth missing. Lol.

This is good...a complete virtual tour of the State Hermitage in St Petersburg. I've been lucky enough to see it for real, but it was a bit busier then...

Jigsaw mine have helped me keep my brain steady these past couple of weeks.

The play 1 man 2 govnurs is streaming on youtube I believe, worth a couple of hours of your time for a laugh.

We had about a three-minute diversion starting precisely at 10:01PM last night - the International Space Shuttle, visible to the naked eye, flew over the house, so we went out and waved.

It's not all good news...Andrew Lloyd Webber is streaming his hit musicals.

I may have omitted a consonant.

Walmart is doing seniors only 6 a.m Tuesdays. G is already talking about going. We don't necessarily need anything. A puzzle would be a good diversion. Also a cribbage set. I have not played in years and G never has.
Good idea.
