No school, no work, no guests, no social life, no sport. The official Italian hashtag for the COVID19 emergency is: #iostoacasa: #imstayinghome.

Our family of 4 (Marco, 60 in a few days; Majla (me), 56 this summer; Eva, 22 on summer solstice and Giotto, who will be an adult next September) are going to retreat for the mandated 14 days to reset.

All routines are off. We have about 16 hours a day to fill, nowhere to go with them, and only each other to spend them with.

Let’s see how that goes!
