FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

Another week went by and on the 14th it will be a month that we are locked in. As there is nothing to do, I finally got used to it, and it doesn't disturb me too much.

I hate food shopping so I am glad that Mr. G. does it, I think he also needs now to get a bit out of the house. We my two friends and I still meet 3 or 4 times per week, always the same and always the same places.

Apparently the situation has improved and we were told that if it's possible we will be released from April 18 on, if not it will be in May. Due to the beautiful weather the rules in Brussels were a little released. It's impossible to keep whole families in little apartments. Mother or father are allowed to drive to the next park when there is no one near their home and let the kids run on the grass.

The adults have to go to the parks close to where they live and are allowed to walk on the paths but no way sitting on the grass or on the benches. This is only allowed for a short while for pregnant women and seniors.

My days are all the same. In the morning I prepare my posts for the next day, and read blogs and comments. It is very interesting now to read how people all over the world live their confinement. Most of the countries have the same rules as we have, except some States in the USA.  That's probably why they are now on the top of the list with the most death and most infected people.

When I got up this morning, my cleaning lady was standing in the kitchen which she had already cleaned. I was very much surprised and happy to see her. This week she could come, the bus was running with the seats marked in red where you were not allowed to sit. To keep distance they had found this solution. The driver is protected behind a plastic screen. 



She cleaned the garden furniture and since today our garden is officially open, not for guests but at least for us ! I don't know how long we will stay in our house as it is sold, all depends the date when offices are open again. I still have to visit the apartment I found, because I have seen it only on video. We also have to go to the notary to sign the papers for the house sale. As long as we are all prisoners nothing moves.



Rosie doesn't care, confined or not she still goes out where she wants to, but never asks me if I need something !
