Overeating

No, no sweets today, but an Indian recipe, cabbage with rice, with a dozen spices. The problem with being blocked at home is overeating. Trying to keep it at bay. A guy here in France run a marathon on his 7 meters long balcony. 6029 lengths, in 6 hours...

Confinement, week 2. Well, he looks bored. I'm not! I have about a hundred cookbooks (never counted them), and with 2 small supermarkets 5 minutes away, I try to diversify my alimentation. What about you, how do you survive?

Lockdown

Well... I was supposed to fly to Istanbul for a few days this week... A much needed break. Problem: France is a Covid-19 hotspot. So, a few days ago, Turkey imposed a 14 days quarantine to all coming from France and a few other countries. And then, was night, France was put on lockdown, until further notice. Can't even visit my old mum in her retirement home.
PLEASE DON'T COME TO FRANCE!!!

Café Atlantico

We have several barges in town, used for theater, cabaret, culture, and... coffee. Soon enough, it will be warm enough to enjoy a coffee in the sun. But not today.
