Sunday is a rainy day… Our focus is to prepare as well as possible for home school and for working from home. Séverine and I have decided to have our desks in 2 separate rooms – we will have a lot of video chats and video meetings, we can’t be sitting next to each other. The desks are ready: external monitor, keyboard and mouse. We found an old USB hub that we had bought almost 20 years ago, and not used since 2003 probably – very handy, though. And we bought another one online… I never thought I would ever buy a USB hub again.

To get some physical activity, we tidied up the garage and the basement. We also mounted the trampoline – that also will be very handy in the coming weeks, a good way for kids to exercise while being at home. Maybe I should start, but not before having checked the specs on maximum weight, though. Séverine and the boys went for a walk in the neighborhood. They spotted a car from a trampoline business. Apparently, we’re not the only ones setting up the trampoline early this year.

On Sundays, we usually sit together with Séverine and write down our weekly plan. Today we made a daily version of it, and prepared the plan for Monday with the kids. When do we work, when do we take breaks, who of Séverine and I is available when.

On the evening, I had a video meeting with the board of the kids’ orchestra. It proved technically challenging, but we got through it and managed to make some progress. It was a video meeting with neighbors, literally.
