Sad sock...

This poor sock had been stranded in the bathroom for a couple of days now.

This morning I decided to save him. EM saw me and said: "Thanks, I'd been meaning to pick him up, but every time I got close to the sink, I couldn't see him any more.'


I love my man!




EM is cleaning and organizing the garage and cooking up a storm. I cleaned the skylights, dusted and washed the floors downstairs. We're trying to keep busy.


EM told me a story a few days ago. He said that his grand mother was raised by her grandmother. Her mother died from the Spanish flu and her father in the trenches during WWI. They didn't have any of the fancy news things like telephones in her grandma'sr home. When a job came up to work as a telephone operator came up, his grandma's grandma sugggested his grandma (are you following me?) take the job as she was a pretty smart cookie. She said no, cause she was afraid of phones. That probably seems very strange today.

In fact, it's a good thing she didn't take that job, cause if she had, she would never have opened her store and would therefore never have met EM's grandfather, so EM wouldn't be here and neither would I (in France).

There's a sports reporter in England who has no sports to report so he's commentating every day life.  Excellent.

A doctor from a hospital in a department not far from here and one of the first areas hit has died this weekend from covid-19.

There will perhaps be more stringent measures from the governement this week.

3 ministers in the goverment have tested positive.
