Confinement 2.0, Day 13

• finished reading The Fabulous Showman
• scrambled eggs
• led a ladies' Bible study over Zoom - If there's one thing the pandemic has taught us all it's how to use Zoom, and that's not totally a bad thing!  Truthfully, getting together in Paris takes a lot of travel time, and I wish we'd been doing these weekly Bible studies before this summer.  Discussing God's word with women every week has been such a delight for the past 3 months.
• took a family walk to the boulangerie - I watched a video about the way we process time and how we need novel experiences to wake our brains up and make time slow down and feel rich and meaningful.  Lockdowns seem to pass relatively quickly because we have the same routines day after day.  So today we all walked to a boulangerie we've never visited before within our perimeter just before lunch and bought goodies that prompted me to put together a snack lunch, or when we're feeling fancy, we call it a charcuterie board.

• read about the ancient city of Ephesus - I had no idea it was the third largest city in the Roman Empire at one time!
• graded history work and writing
• filmed the kids doing science experiments
• did a French grammar lesson with J
• invited Noreen over for a visit and a cappuccino 
• washed dishes, swept, tidied 
• read a news article that made me feel distressed about the state of humanity
• read a Remembrance Day/Veteran's Day poem
• cooked cabbage, leek, and bacon in good salted butter - I bought the most beautiful cabbage at the supermarket Monday, and I needed to cook it.  
• laughed at The Andy Griffith Show with the kids
