Well Hello there,

I hope this missive finds you well. We live in a strange world now with this silly COVID-19 -19. Is your area safe? Not many places are safe, the virus even reached the great north, which is not good news. But if you want good news, better not watch the news, all unwelcome news. Except, perhaps, that President Trump is out, President elect Biden is in. Politics, well they shape our world, and we are completely powerless in the face of it except go to vote, which I do not do since I live in a foreign country as a legal resident with no right to vote.

So that’s that for the news, the weather is nice and I will go for a walk soon after lunch because I talked to my dad yesterday and he kindly let me know what I have gain weight…Oh thanks you, he meant well as I had lost a lot , too much, and now I look better a bit rounder, without being fat, I hope.

Nevertheless, I have been sitting at my desk for the last few months, pondering on what to do in my spare time which is all day. Yes we are in confinement and we cannot socialize so we can go for a walk but I get bored walking around at the same place every day so I stopped…not a good idea.

So, I sit here at my desk and I do write to my 95 years old dad and my aging uncle and both, in their isolation,  take such pleasure to this  simple gesture, a letter. Then I thought of you, you might also would like to have a letter. I do I like to receive news even if the news are no news because nothing is really happening when you are in confinements but there is all the little thing we brush off too easily, unless you start noticing because we have to write to someone and this is what the day is made of, little things. And we have our stories to tell and memories to share.

Let me know if you would like to correspond. I would like that, but you may have other fish to fry.

Have the best day.

With lots of love

S. from Apt.
