  • Week #7 of semi confinement

    There were long queues at the garden centres and DIY last Monday. Mathias popped down to the Migros Brico to stock up on wood for his frames and noticed that most of the people were buying plants and flowers. Flashes of colours and smiling faces.

  • Week #6 of semi confinement

    I feel I’m loosing track of time, or at the least that my perception of time varies throughout the day and the week. March feels ages ago, just like the beginning of the week does, but the day flies by so fast. We’ve reached 6 weeks of semi confinement.

    We have reached the end of our third weeks of semi confinement, and things are going rather well for us.

  • Coronavirus Rhapsody

    I love this song, and the lyrics by Dana Jay Bein and spot on, and Adrian Grimes’s interpretation is stellar. Some humor to see us through the COVID-19 crisis.

  • Week #2 of semi confinement

    We have { already | at last } reached the end of week #2 of semi confinement. The whole situation still feels surreal. As a family, we are settling into a daily routine, each of us organising our space and time.

  • Week #1 of semi confinement

    It’s been a week since the Conseil Fédéral announced the closing of the schools and limited public gatherings, but it feels more than that. Several additional steps have been taken since to slow down our rhythm of life and prevent people from moving and gathering by imposing social distancing.
