If you're in Tier 2 or 3 what are you doing to keep in touch with friends and relatives ?

My area has recently gone into Tier 2 so can no longer meet indoors .

I was wondering what others are doing about maintaining contact with close friends and family ? Eg your parents or adult children you don't live with ?

Are you shivering in gardens? Going for walks?

Inspiration needed .

Phone
WhatsApp video / facetime / skype / zoom whatever you use to video call
texts and whatsapp messages
Walks
Occasionally get really excited to find some sort of errand which gives you the excuse to deliver something to someone, then you can stand 6' away from their doorstep and chat Grin

Phone, text, fb messenger & WhatsApp for me.
My teens, the same plus Instagram and Discord.
I currently have 16yo DD who is moping around the house, missing her boyfriend. Long, protracted sighs every half hour or so, and dressed all in black because she said her bright clothes are too loud for how she's feeling. It's like living with Queen Victoria.

My family have a weekly Google video chat and that's it. Occasionally Whatsapp, but only to swap information. We sometimes drop things off at each other's houses, and stand on the pavement chatting briefly.

I've not really kept in touch with friends, but I don't have any close ones. Just people I see at hobbies and classes, but they aren't running and I haven't made any effort to keep in touch outside them.
