Feest Isolation Days – 12 August
If you haven’t read yesterdays missive scroll down and read that one first! Terry has offered us a lot of information that many of you have commented on and told us how helpful it was. He spent a great deal of time on it and I promise you will definitely learn something that will be helpful to you in these Covid Crazy times!
As I write it is a glorious day and the sun shines! We are pleased that we are in our gorgeous home and not trying to escape the world on an over packed beach somewhere in the UK…or Spain!
We are very, very, sorry to hear that our New Zealand friends in Auckland have been asked to lockdown again! Apparently this is going to be initially for three days. This is because four people in ONE family have the disease. Watch here for more information.

As there will be a bit of indoor time for our kiwi friends, and a need to really stay positive, this missive will be filled with either lovely, funny or unusual bits and pieces. And we can all use some of those any old time can’t we?
First up is lovely and unusual. Beautiful really. See what you think… don’t get bored, watch the entire video. You’ve got plenty of time!
How about a little something to do? Write a letter. A real honest to goodness letter, not an email. Preferably to someone you would like to thank for something in your life that arrived because of them. There aren’t too many people that I know that don’t love receiving mail. Letters may have become a thing of the past but they needn’t be. I have received one or two of these since emails began and you know what? I still have them! They are special. Who would you like to write to? They’d love it if you did. And you will love doing it too.
There always has to be something amusing to watch when you are staring at the same place for ages. This gem from Fawlty Towers still makes me laugh….
Quick music lovers quiz! Which was the Beatles hit that spent the longest on the charts? There are many to pick from…..
Did you get it right?
And this one from I Love Lucy is perfect for all of you chocolate lovers out there.
Enjoy!
Hang in there…
With love

Indeed Kathy, Terry’s comments and useful references are very useful as we are going back to the UK on Tuesday and will be in quarantine, Philip in London with Jami and me in Swavesey… and we are in the East of France, in a departement where the figures are very low anyway so not at all terrified. Genevieve is with us and we will drive her back to Lagny on the way.
We are staying with Francine and Gabriel..and walking to the nearby farm this afternoon to collect milk, trying to be careful and ‘aware’ but not worrying unduly and trying to keep things as simple and peaceful as possible, an easy aim in the Meuse…
Thanks for the many cartoons too. Here i’ve discovered a ‘Bande Dessinee ‘ I did not know and which I find really amusing. It is called ‘Les vieux Fourneaux’ with 5 albums published by Dargaud in the past few years and relating the adventures of a group of old leftists/anarchists from the 60s trying to find ways of ‘passing on the message’ to the younger generation. Hilarious. I recommend it particularly if you want to brush up your ‘francais argotique’ 🙂
Hi Edit,
Sorry you have got caught up in the quarantine requirement! Will look out for the Darguard publication. Musings from Old leftists are always worth a peek!
