We watched the movie Blackberry over the weekend, and I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I can’t say I’ve used a Mac all my computing life, but I’ve lusted for one close to all my computing life.

I closed my Basecamp account earlier this month. I have been a customer since April 2004, that’s almost 20 years give or take a few months.

Love you Mum.

I’ll be taking time off these two upcoming weeks.

I love bags. I’ve used and enjoyed a number of messenger bags and backpacks from Timbuktu and Tom Bihn and I’m always on the lookout for something new.

While this strange year is coming to a close and New Year reflections and resolutions are popping up here and there, I would like to take the time to thank a client who has become a friend, and with whom I share many of my interests, passions and obsessions: Lionel Egger.

Last year, Vivienne approached me with the project of adapting a collection of Protein Spotlight articles into comic strips, both in English and French versions. The Geneva-based cartoonist aloys lolo was to create them on a monthly basis and eventually publish a book as well as set of posters.

It’s almost 2 months now since the semi confinement was ordered, and this Monday will see most of the businesses return to our new normal.

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.

Easter break. We are slowly reaching our first month of semi confinement. We have grown accustomed to living all four of us together, and are enjoying it. Mathias and Emma are happy to spend more time together, like when we all go on holiday together. I love having all my family around me.

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

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.

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.
