We left the house at 10:30 to go on a bike tour, to Lilleaker area. We stopped for a picnic in a park, and went for a bit of shopping, DIY things for the kids, and food for the family. It’s all very stressful, at any time: we have to constantly make sure that we’re not getting too close to anyone, we have to clean our hands. There was not too many people, fortunately. By contrast, home is very relaxing – it was nice to come back!

I started to clean the outdoor table and chairs. Usually the last thing I will do. But here we are, with plenty of time and not much to do.

I had a poetry evening with my friends from Trondheim, on video. And then spent an hour reflecting on what the future would be… I have no idea. It was quite simple to anticipate the pandemic. We knew what was coming. But what comes next is anyone’s guess. How will the economy and the markets cope with a situation that is now quite severe in Europe and in the US? How will that affect us on the long term?
