The New Norm 1

 There it is, the new addition to our house.  A bowl full of masks right beside the front door.



Don't forget to grab one before you leave

Partial lockdown on the island ends on Monday.

What next?

    It is good it is only a short lockdown. Maybe it will give people the reminder they need not to barge you and wear a mask. Be safe!

      The lockdown has been extended but it's not too bad. Cafes and tavernas are still open, not that we go to either just now

      We have a pile of masks now. I can pick and choose colours and shapes.

    Fingers crossed. We haven't forgotten about the magazines BTW- your email I can't find (mine appears on the line at the top of the page) so I figured I might one day take a ferry to Poros, drop a bundle at the green chair cafe with 'local/kiwi/alien' written on the outside and tell them you will eventually pick them up. I'd warn you first of course and it won't be for a while as I have a couple of finish. Mr T won't be happy - he likes lying on the open one I leave lying on the other side of the bed each evening.

      This day will come lol. Would love to see you and magazines at the green chairs. Our partial lockdown has been extended for one more week. I imagine it will go on for a while yet.

    Masks in the car - I have to walk past it to retrieve one if I’m going somewhere on foot.

    As from 4 am this morning, people returning to the UK from France have to spend 14 days indoors. Can you believe it; people were rushing back to Blighty to get back before 4 am, just to avoid the isolation, as if that would ensure they didn't have any virus. What idiots!

      Idiots everywhere. There's a 15 km on our Albanian border for the same reason. Albanians rushing back to work. And bringing the virus with them.
      Our partial lockdown has been extended for another week

    Although I find the fabric masks my daughter in law made me much more comfortable than the ones I get at work, it's a drag to have to wash them so often. Guess I'll have to cough up some more dough for some extras.
