French quarantine day 19

15,516 steps

The weather feels like summer! It's so frustrating not to be able to go to the beach or take a hike.

We hear rumblings that Paris and Nice are going to make masks mandatory whenever you go outside. I'm not sure how they're going to make masks available to everyone...and will it be just one mask per person? If so, will they be washable? Sterilizable? If they don't provide masks, how can they enforce the rule since you can't buy them anywhere?

We also are hearing rumors about exercise being limited to before 10 am or after 6 pm. I'm not sure how this would be helpful, as it would just concentrate all the people going on runs/walks to a smaller time frame.

But yeah, gotta make more rules and more rules. I just wish we had some solid evidence on what actually makes a significant difference--and that we only implemented rules that were effective!

Eric and I went grocery shopping at Lidl (like Aldi). The lines were short but, unlike last week, the shelves were not well-stocked. Not bare, but noticeably sparse. The produce was almost all gone, whereas dry/canned goods were mostly plentiful.

But...no flour to be found anywhere, not at Lidl and not at our local neighborhood groceries. How am I going to make bread? I don't want to venture into the megastore Carrefour just for flour!

Kids doing a 10-minute deep stretch yoga video and a random picture of Zari's foot?
