Getting in the mood for Halloween

 Yesterday afternoon, my sister didn't need to work (!) and so we took the opportunity to get rid of the summer/autumn decoration and change it for Halloween.

In these corona times, you must make  your home as cozy as possible. We think that putting up and placing some decorations around the living room area brings some atmosphere into the house. Don't you?


Even as today, restrictions will become even more severe and we're not far away from a total lockdown. The number of infections is rising alarmingly, more than ten thousand per day already and going to twenty thousand. Now it's forbidden to attend sports events, or go to the theatre or cinema with more than a couple of people in the hall. And you must prevent contact with others. Yeah, we know! 

Hopefully, the government won't forbid us to leave the house in the coming weeks. The schools' autumn break is coming up in a week (starting at the end of the month) and we hope to be able to take the train to the coast, to spend the week at our flat there. Although all pubs and restaurants are closed, there will be enough take-away possible, and the shops are (still) open as well. We can go for walks and then return home to have some coffee/tea. I've taken to drinking tea in the afternoon, as it seems to settle my stomach better. Since I started doing this, I haven't been nauseous once.
