Hello, Shades.
It took me a while to write. I wasn't home much the last days.
Nice to meet you.
@Dina:
Yes, we are doing OK in my opinion, but there are already voices that say there might be a second lockdown, because now every infected person infects 2,8 others. During the lockdown it was down to less than 1. But that is OK and logical, because now people are allowed to meet again. In private you don't wear a mask and you tend to not hold the distance. So it is only logical, that more people get infected than during the strict lockdown. I'm not sure how this is going to be in the future. I want to believe we have it under control, if everybody keeps to the rules.
The kids in school alternate school days and home schooling days. So that there are always only half the kids in school and the other half at home.
In kindergarten the parents are not allowed to enter the building. And they have splitted the kids into smaller groups.
This week my choir is allowed to meet again to plan how to stick to the rules while singing. We will have to stand apart from one another. At least the room is big enough.
Ballet: We have seen Nutcracker on TV once. She was fascinated.
And now there is a big black cloud in the sky above me. Damn. I had hoped to spend the afternoon on my blanket outside with my coffee and my book. But I will stay until the first drops fall. Or until I'm freezing. The wind is getting rather cold now.
@Fcrate's eclipse:
That's great. Wish I could have seen it.
Apropos ballet: I just remembered having been to Swan Lake in the theatre with my mother once. We have never seen the whole ballet before, only parts on TV. And, what was worse, a few of my uncles and cousins did the dance of the 4 swans once for my aunt's 50th birthday. It was so funny, my belly and face are still hurting, I had to laugh so much.
Then imagine my mother and me in the ballet seeing the original dance for the first time with the picture of the men dancing that in our heads. Oh, how evil the looks were! We tried to stay serious. Really. But it was not possible.
Even now when I hear the music I start laughing.
