A busy Saturday with several house viewings. One of which got cancelled due to a resident having to self-isolate due to covid.

One of the viewings today was originally written off by my folks as a “no-hope” but once they viewed inside, their tone dramatically changed.

A literal case of not judging a book by its cover.

In other news, I saw a tweet from https://twitter.com/VictoriaBID:

In commemoration of the centenary of the #UnknownWarrior, we're proud to
share this reimagined version of ‘Abide with Me’ – sung at the burial
in 1920, and rerecorded by the @MWChoirs 100 years on:
We are delighted to have supported this touching tribute.https://t.co/a1SwSc8iGC pic.twitter.com/0lRf2Fzcbp

Now I work on top of Victoria Station, so I walk past the memorial plaque dedicated to the Unknown Soldier every day I commute to the office. Obviously not so much this year due to covid.

The Military Wives Choir did the song for Abide With Me using the now-common feature of a virtual choir:

The virtual choir idea has been used a lot this year due to social distancing, but let’s not forget, the idea dates back way further, even as far back as 2009 with Eric Whitacre’s Virtual Choir project (https://www.youtube.com/user/EricWhitacresVrtlChr) which also made it into several TED talks
