Bavaria has declared an emergency situation and is
restricting social interactions even more than at the end of last week. They
waited for this until after the local community elections which took place
yesterday, we elected mayors, city councils, regional district parliaments and
perhaps it might have been counterproductive to the results of the ruling party
if such a declaration had come before the day of election? The big C ...

My son is jubilant that school is out, and we are enjoying a
few more moments of interaction with him. It seems that his puberty-driven brain
re-arrangement is indeed making progress, we have actually had conversations
with him that he initiated on some topic he is thinking about, such as „how do
you become sombeody like Banksy?“ this day over lunch. That is much more than
the usual me: „how was school?“ he: „ok.“ kind of interaction! A light at the
end of the tunnel? He is being sent activities and exercises to do from school and is by now slowly getting bored.
The stiuation at/for work is getting more chaotic because
nobody really knows what to do in terms of preparation, or how to deal with the
situation . I am not going to go into any attempt at describing what is going
on, because it would just be too frustrating. I was very close to quitting
yesterday afternoon but haven’t yet.
I have a new toy, a
drum carder, which I am getting for my birthday (no, my birthday is not until
later, but my husband insisted we order it now because there might be delivery
issues and when it arrived he insisted we open the package and check whether it
is alright and complete and then he said I might as well have my birthday
present now).
I have tried it and prepared a few bits of mixtures for red
fleece and am doing a bit of my self-isolated „musical chairs“ spinning as we
did in the group in November.

| An idea of what it might be plied into. (Ignore the background, that is a different project). |
It is fun to card fleece, and really exciting to
combine different kinds of fibers. Many plans, many ideas, and way too little
time.
I have also returned to my yellow scrap bag. Which I tried
to reduce when working on „A Scrap a Day“, but ended up with seemingly more yellow
scraps in the box than before I started. So now I am just sewing scraps
together, a little bit at a time.
 |
| Can't really see much yet, and this is only a minor piece of what I have done so far anyway. |
Trying to do something with shades and stuff.
Don’t know where it is taking me. And don’t know how long it will take, either.
But the curfew is bound to be around for
a while, probably get stricter still. Right now we are still allowed to go for
walks, but even that may be taken away.
Strange times.
