VAUCLUSE DIARY

Friday 3 April

Settling into a routine, with the idea that this may last longer than we bargained for. We have now been here for two weeks so at least we haven’t imported the virus from Paris, though we might have picked it up opening that package of gnocchi last night.

As my brother-in-law pointed out yesterday when he stopped by to leave us a bottle of olive oil, the media have decided there is no news but Corona news. Is nothing else is happening in the world? Something to think about.

We had a drink in the garden, 3 chairs, 2 metres between them, a bottle, 3 mismatched glasses, a jar of olives from the village shop. The sun wasn’t quite setting, but it was warm.
