Today was a lovely warm day, hopefully the first of many more. Despite the social distancing measures, a lot of people ventured out to soak up the sun, outside apartments people were enjoying the afternoon sun sitting appropriate distances apart and socialising. Nature continues her transformation into spring and I enjoy the opportunity to goContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 21”

Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 20
It was a lovely spring day, sunny, and as far as I could tell, not windy. I spent a few hours on my balcony enjoying my flowers and doing some water colours, while my neighbours who have gardens practiced home workouts and probably overheard my eclectic music collection. Nobody threw rotten vegetables at me, soContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 20”

It’s the weekend! It feels like this week flew by in meetings and to-do lists. Finally we make it to Friday night and time for drinks with colleagues, but online on a video call! While the majority of the world population is stuck at home, doing their bit to save humanity , a whole newContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 19”
Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 18
I didn’t sleep well. I think I got preoccupied about whether or not I had some of the symptoms of COVID-19 and that formed the basis for a bunch of turbulent dreams. Luckily I can’t remember anything, other than I woke up in the small hours feeling unsettled. I find that social distancing is gettingContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 18”
Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 17
Today is April fools day, but it is no laughing matter. I can no longer tell you if something happened yesterday or Friday two weeks ago. Its just one big blur of time. Get up, get dressed, sit in front of a screen. Go to bed. Repeat. Work carries on at a crazy pace, IContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 17”
Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 16
Today we celebrated my niece’s 10th birthday. I got to phone her on a video call to wish her happy birthday, and I’m still amazed how small the world has become. In the 10 years since she was born, the world transformed, and we have things in existence we couldn’t even imagine back then. AndContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 16”
Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 15
Every day I get more thankful for the freedom to walk outside and enjoy the parks around. Amsterdam has some pretty incredible parks and it is a treat to see it come to light as the seasons change. This time of isolation is turning into a time of reflection for a lot of people. WeContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 15”
Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 14
One of the small pleasures I have in this time of uncertainty is to take a walk in nature. This is not the case in many countries at time moment and I think this freedom can be revoked at any time. But until then, I will take the necessary precautions, stay in spaces that aren’tContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 14”
Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 13
It’s the second weekend since we’ve been told TK stay at home over here in the Netherlands. People from all over are reaching out and I enjoy hearing from everyone. I am always happy to hear how they are doing in this unusual time, what keeps them busy and that they agree healthy. A numberContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 13”
Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 12
Today marks the end of the second work week of working from home. It’s nearly a new normal. I arranged to get the last bit of IT equipment and importantly, an office chair, so now my home office set up is as well developed as at the actual office. It’s just as well because we’llContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 12”
