Tim and I started the day with a bike trip up Mærradalen again. We all started our day as normal. It’s actually quite busy at work, we’re working close to 100% now. Timothé and Sarah follow their classes on Teams, Hugo still requires a bit more attention, but is also becoming more autonomous. His teacher called him on Teams, he just picked up the call and had a long chat, without us helping.

The big news of the day was the extension of the lock-down until after Easter. We had a tiny hope that we could go to the mountains for the Easter break – that’s not going to happen now. The government is preventing Norwegians to go to their cabins at Easter, and that is quite significant. Norwegians buy cabins in the mountain almost only for the Easter break…

Right after this was announced, we received emails from the teachers saying it was just another 10 days… And we were like, yes for schools, it’s 10 days, but for us parents, it’s 20 days, 10 of which with no other activities than what the kids can do at home and with us.

We all sat down in the sofa and watched a few episodes of Friends. It had been a while since we had watched TV together, it was a nice moment for the family. This and a glass of wine at diner cheered us up a little, with Séverine.

Today’s music: a bit of west coast rap with Dd. Dre and Snoop Dog 🙂
