Il galeone Neptune

"Famous" galleon, anchored in the port of Genova/Genoa, Italy. Why famous? Here is why.
More b&w here, on confinement day 17.

Nobody

Emptiness.

April's fools day...I mean theme day! School

Students of a music school on their way to a concert in Valletta, Malta, last year.
More about the theme day here

Wash your paws!

And the other bits, while you're at it.

Social distancing

6 feet apart or 6 feet under: your choice.

Italia

I often think of Italy these days.

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, day 9

When you want to go out, but can't. It's lethally dangerous out there.

European House of Headaches

Not a hospital, but the ECB, European Central Bank in GFrankfurt. Preparing the... after. Won't be easy, headaches a-plenty.

A Monday Mural

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?

Confinement, day 6. At home, on a nice sunny day

Wish I was on a boat, in South Pacific... Any Covid-19 on the Cook Islands???

Confinement, day 3

How confinement should be...

Closed, confinement day 2

Europe is closed.

Confinement, day 1

This morning in town... Keep the distance, you effing idiots!!!

Lock down, day 2

It's all so quiet... Waiting for an update from Mr Macron tonight. Will it be confinement, like in China, Spain, Italy?

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!!!
