Despite having a garden and not having to experience lockout in a confined space, it’s not always easy to face each day with so much negativity around us. There seems to be no other subject on the media except the economic repercussions of confinement and there is constant criticism of way the crisis is being handled by the French authorities. I would hate to be in their shoes. Better days seem far away.
There were four new deaths in our area today bringing the total up to 35. The only graphs that seem to be going down are the total number of hospital admissions and the number of patients in intensive care in France
Malgré notre jardin et un confinement tout relatif il n’est pas toujours facile de faire face chaque jour devant toute la négativité qui nous entoure. Il semble que le seul sujet qui intéresse les média est celui des répercussions économiques du confinement ; tout ce que fait le gouvernement est constamment critiqué. Je n’aimerais pas être à leur place. Les jours meilleurs semblent bien loin.
Le Loir-et-Cher a enregistré quatre nouveaux décès aujourd’hui ce qui nous emmène à un total de 35. Les seuls chiffres qui baissent sont le nombre total d’hospitalisations et le nombre de patients en réanimation.

It’s been so warm this year but the lilac is fading fast. These are taken from our three lilac bushes.
Living in a house with a garden outside a town of 50,000 people makes lockdown very livable particularly during spring. Today we were able to order and pick up lettuce plants from the local nursery without getting out the car and we can now even buy flowers such as petunias. We are putting in an order tomorrow.
Home deliveries are still being made but with a safe procedure: the delivery man phoned to say he was 10 minutes away so I could open the gate. I stood well back while he brought the parcel into the garden. I didn’t sign for it – he just checked my name.
