  • Post confinement

    I’ve been commuting back and forth to my office for over a month now, occasionally eating in restaurants and generally going on with my life as before. Or am I?

  • Week #8 of semi confinement

    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.

  • 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.

  • Week #5 of semi confinement

    We are about to enter what will be the last week of semi confinement for certain businesses. The Conseil Fédéral has announced its three stage confinement exit plan last Thursday. During which, Alain Berset had another great line : “Nous voulons agir aussi vite que possible, mais aussi lentement que nécessaire”.

  • Week #4 of semi confinement

    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.

  • Week #3 of semi confinement

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

  • 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.
