Attention Spiders, you are now in lockdown in the vacuum bag until further notice



As couples do, or at least we do, we ask each other silly questions.  Some daily, like: 'Why do you love me?' Which is what I asked this morning at breakfast.  
To which EM answered: 'Pancakes'

I'm making sourdough bread again.  Every day you need to feed it and remove a bit.  The part you remove you can make other things with like PANCAKES.  And let me tell you, they are the fluffiest ever!  Yes, that's maple syrup on top.  Not from Muskoka unfortunately.

When I was little my dad and I went back and forth, back and forth in the morning at breakfast time with: 'You did it'  'Didn't' 'Did'.   I don't know why.  It was just our 'thing'.  Now, if I was honest, my answer should have been 'Did' most of the time.  Poor dad.

As I have loads of time on my hands, I'm cleaning like I've never cleaned before.  Sung to the tune of She's a Maniac.  https://youtu.be/8FftI0oRg2M  So look out spiders!  I know how much you've loved living behind the armour.  Well, it's over guys.  At least for the next 15 days....

My Seaster Claire (someone on the eXXpedition crew) who flew to Tahiti for her leg is trying to get home to France and is having no luck so far. Flights all cancelled.  Tahiti is in lockdown too.   Suddenly paradise becomes not so paradisiacal.

So California is now in lockdown.  Where ever you are, you should be too so that we can get past this thing sooner.

Here's the evolution of Covid in France.  Its numbers are growing quickly.  This is not something that will be gone in a couple of weeks people.  The President said today that lockdown will likely be prolonged here from 2 weeks to maybe 6 or more.  Many municipalities have closed parks, beaches, hiking trails.  In Nice, the famous
Promenade des Anglais is now patrolled by a drone that tells people to get inside.

EM is still working.  He's got urgent documents to translate.  
I guess my GT will have to wait.

Oh, and Brian Major, you are the winner of the hand made kleenex holder.  Yes, EM shaved his beard.  More hygenic in these times of Covid-19.  I'll be in touch Bri for your choices of materials.
