I had an incredible dinner today. The neighbourhood chefs once again offered an incredible menu and I am happy to support them as well as my foodie tendencies. I do however miss having nice dinner in a place that is not my dining room, with someone who is not my phone for company. Be kind.Continue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 61”

Today a friend asked me for advice on buying a sewing machine. As a proud owner of a sewing machine and as someone who posted on this same blog about it, I can’t really be surprised right? What amazes me about the human brain, however, is how it is possible to hold and sort informationContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 60”

When I was a kid I used to make sums out of numbers. I see a number and think what is it divisible by, or what does the individual digits add up to etc. I admit it, I have always been a bit of a nerd. The point is, when I wrote down the numberContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captains log: Day 59”

I am exhausted. Today I had meeting after meeting after meeting, and I had to remind myself to get up and get a glass of water. One moment it was just before 3 pm, and the next thing i know it was 6:30 pm and I was still going strong. The result? I am superContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 58”

I started week 9 with a day off. I realised last week I needed a bit of a break. The plan for the day was to do something I haven’t done much in recent years and that I love very much: sewing. In years gone by I have learnt sewing from my mom, from lessonsContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 57”

Mothers day. I guess that even without a worldwide lockdown I wouldn’t have been able to cook my mom a Sunday lunch, but 8 weeks ago I was in possession of a flight ticket home and now I have a voucher, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to use it again. Still, IContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 56”

The weather was amazing so I went to the beach with a friend. We drove all thy way there but there were signs saying that the parking areas were closed, so we parked further away and walked the last few kilometers to get there. It was so worth it. It has been 7 months andContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log day 55”

Last week I found a flyer under my door. A couple of streets over, in my neighbourhood, lives 3 chefs who are trying to keep the neighbourhood fed with some good food while we are all in isolation. I reacted, but since I was a bit late, their allotment of orders was full and IContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 54”

Things I have learned in the last 53 days:I have learned that I really like working from home. While I miss interaction with some of my colleagues and the social aspects of things, I enjoy the freedom to work uninterrupted for certain hours, or to have a mini break that involves something I like doingContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captains Log: Day 53”

It’s a long time and my nerves are getting frayed being at home all the time. The prime minister announced today in his speech that they will start gradually lifting restrictions. I hope to get some clarity soon because I really need to go surfung. Be kind. Stay safe
