I know I said I wasn’t going to apologise every time I disappear for a while. And it may not even seem like a disappearing act anyway, since I’ve been loyally running the Which Way Challenge (and will continue to do so). But here we are. Hi, how are you?

Falling awake
While I know the lockdown is necessary to try and control the situation, it’s also tough to stick out. I’m doing my part, but realised it was time to escape the city for a bit.

Christmas together
For many, Christmas isn’t necessarily the most cheery time of the year. And this year, Christmas looks heaps different from previous years altogether.

Eleven weeks ago, we had to start working from home due to Covid-19 measures. Our employer has decided that we’ll be working from home until at least September. There have also been rumours it will last until January. It makes it all the more real that we are far away from returning to the wayContinue reading “Suck it up, buttercup!”
Permission to enjoy
Week 9 of intelligent lock down is starting tomorrow. Last Tuesday our government held a press conference in which they presented the road map to slowly and carefully make our way out of this pandemic, and which conditions apply on that road. Certain measures are being loosened, e.g. kids in primary school are going backContinue reading “Permission to enjoy”
One day at a time: similarities between travelling and the current lockdown situation
The seventh week of working from home due to the Covid-19 pandemic has ended. We’re still in lockdown. The world has been turned upside down. Daily life has lost its effortlessness. I know there are people struggling right now. Understandable, as we’re in this situation for who knows how long. The lack of perspective isContinue reading “One day at a time: similarities between travelling and the current lockdown situation”
