I don't even know if we're still in lockdown/quarantine/confinamiento. I don't know what to call it at this stage. "Life?" We entered Phase 1 this week which means that bars and restaurants have been allowed to open and that we can meet in groups of up to 10. This seems like a bit much to …
62?
It still makes sense to count the days even though we're allowed out to exercise right? I'm home by 9am and inside for the rest of the day so I'm going to say yes. It was a struggle to get out of bed this morning. Last week was so warm that I didn't need a …
60.
I forgot to actually post this yesterday (May 13th..) 13.01: I had to double check the number of days. I think it's 60. Math has never been my strong point. I think most of Spain has entered what they call phase 1 but Granada has stayed in phase 0 with Madrid (and other places..) because …
48 days and we’re allowed outside!
At 6.20am my alarm went off. While I didn't jump out of bed with tons of energy, I was certainly excited about going outside. We have two time slots in which we're allowed to exercise: 6-10am or 8-11pm. The sunrise isn't until 7.17 but I wanted to see just how dark it really was in …
Day 47.
WE ARE ALLOWED TO GO OUTSIDE TOMORROW. Adults are allowed to exercise between 6-10am and 8-11pm (the daytime is being left for the kids who were allowed out from last week and the elderly). We've known that it might be a possibility for the last week or so but now it has been confirmed and …
40. Whoa.
11.03: Seems crazy that it's been 40 days. I've been out a few times this week to get things for a "celebratory" brunch on Sunday. Sunday, day 42, will mark a month of Lucía and I having lunch together. As far as I know, brunch isn't really a thing here (especially as so many people …
5 weeks.
I went to the fruitería yesterday and decided to take the backroad which I haven't used once since the lockdown started. The road I look onto, paseo de los tristes, is so pretty and usually a more direct route but I decided to live on the wild side. It was so nice to turn right rather than …
Day 32.
I can recall the sound of my street waking up. From before. The sound of the scraping of chairs that the waiters were putting in place, getting ready for the day. Now when I wake up I hear the birds and the white noise of the river. (I also hear every car that goes by …
1 month.
Wow. Un mes en casa. It's hard to believe but also hard to imagine a different reality at the moment. I feel as though my future is so uncertain and the past seems like a dream. Yesterday, on the phone to mum, she suggested I go to a shop nearby to get a few things that I …
Day 27.
11:13: I went outside yesterday. To throw out my rubbish and recycling. It had been 6 days. I tried to make it last as long as possible but there's only so much rubbish that fits in my bin. I'd say "the outing" lasted about 7 minutes... The weather hasn't been that great so I didn't …
But Who You Be, Really?
