After 3 days of rain, snow, fog, and cold, it is spring again. The temperature was not officially very warm, but the sun was heating more than ever. So it was in this very nice afternoon that I made my first steps to gardening. I went first to do groceries, and I needed quite aContinue reading “Day 18 and gardening”

The furnace was down
The furnace went down Sunday evening. Monday: Bad luck, especially because in spite of having felt a bit of spring last Sunday, it is back to be winter again – it was snowing all day, and without heater, the house went down to 8 degrees C this evening… luckily I have a fire place, andContinue reading “The furnace was down”
E-dinner
I had my first official e-dinner tonight. It was part of an art project, and that’s probably why I felt involved and comitted. But it was also kind of weird, especially because they were in Australia, basically taken their mid-morning break when I was dinning. It took me some time before I could feel relaxed…Continue reading “E-dinner”

Not much but no wonder the nurseries are still closed, and everybody told me toContinue reading “Good morning (2)”

Day 4
It’s been four days that I had no direct contact with anybody. And no direct conversation other than teleconference or Skype. It is just strange…. I will need to make a tour at the supermarket soon and I am actually looking forward to it. The weather was extremely nice. The light was bright, the sunContinue reading “Day 4”
Spring ?
The weather is rather warm these days oscillating between -3 and +8 degrees Celcius. We also just change the time in our time zone, and it feels like we are more in harmony with our environment. Ideal for social distancing! And as a matter of fact, it seems like Mother Nature feels like it isContinue reading “Spring ?”
