ROLLER COASTER RIDE

The last couple of months have been a roller coaster ride. Between settling into a new country, unpacking the last few moving boxes and decorating the house, making new friends, starting a new full time office job and the Covid-19 outbreak.

Most Governments are enforcing a lockdown. You should stay home. End of the story. Here is South Africa that means offices and schools are closed so we’re both working (long hours!) from home and Alexander’s school has switched to remote learning.

For the period of lockdown, every person is confined to his or her place of residence, unless strictly for the purpose of performing an essential service, obtaining an essential good or service, collecting a social grant, or seeking emergency, life-saving or chronic medical attention. Walking your dog and jogging outdoors are prohibited and you can’t buy any alcohol.

With the lockdown in full effect, police, law enforcement and the army have been patrolling the streets to make sure people don’t leave home – unless they really have to. You can end in jail!

Alexander hasn’t left the house since early March and I went out for the first time the other day to do some shopping.

With so much going on I feel (well I know!) I’ve been neglecting my blog these past few months but as of today I’m back. I won’t be posting every day the first couple of weeks but I’ll make sure I slowly get back into it! Finding a new routine that works for the whole family hasn’t been (and still isn’t!) easy.

Andre Glukhov submitted these beautiful photo’s of Vittorio and Polina a couple of weeks ago when they were still able to go outside and meet up.
