my view from self-quarantine
Here´s the list I made during quarantine of what was actually happening, day to day. I hope it´s at least amusing, if not relatable, to some of you.
- Counting grey hairs. Looking too closely in the mirror and realising I´m going grey. I´ve gone from none to multiple.
- Making amazing brunches, with all kinds of liquids, including champagne. It´s a great reason to get out of bed.
- Baking banana bread. Lots of it, and a different recipe each time to keep it fun. I tried normal, chocolate gluten free and vegan.
- Playing in the kids park on the handle bars, hanging upside down. In running clothes.
- Avoiding people on my bike, trying to keep a 2m passing space and almost always running into the curb or onto the grass.
- Dreaming about going to the pool, but they´re all closed. Thankfully I have access to a hottub in the backyard of an empty house in Kopavogur.
- Sitting on my yoga mat, mindfully thinking about doing yoga. It’s a form of meditation.
- Opening 30 bottles of wine, of which 15 were off. Then drinking the good ones. I´m best at that.
- I made an advertisement on the Icelandic online classifieds to find horses to ride. (If you or anyone you know is in isolation that has a horse, I can go to the stable for them!)
- Looking for dogs to walk and finding out that everyone is walking their own dog these days. Hiking without a dog is almost as much fun. But if you or anyone you know has a dog they cant walk, let me know!
