never reveal what is in the letter. Check out the trailer and tell us will you watch it tomorrow? How are you passing your time in the self carantine?
We are passing our time by going NUTS.. lol How are you doing in quarantine? I'll have to share this one with my babies, but they are currently looking at the show with the big, imaginary polar bear!
ReplyDeleteI've been avoiding people and washing my hands even before it was cool :) so I'm fine. They might prolong curfew in a few days (the ban is currently on from 8pm to 5am), I just hope they won't lock us up in our houses fully because I need my lemons, oranges and bananas more than life itself LOL Are you still working in the office, or from home? We won't have any public transport in a day or two, so everything will stop working probably that cannot work from home.
DeleteI'm working from home, or at least trying to with these little beasts bored to death all day. My hubby is in and out of the hospitals though because he's a field worker for life safety systems. It make me feel like my quarantine efforts are a waste with him in and out. I hope they don't leave you without lemons and bananas!!! Maybe you'll have to pick the lemons early from your tree. :)
DeleteI have just one more left and it's very green LOL We had four yellow ones already.
DeleteHope hubby stays safe, make him wear a hazmat suit when entering the bed LOL
He's been stripping in the garage and then streaking all the way to the shower LOL We're up to over 5700 cases in our state and over 100 in my town. I'm afraid to even walk to the mailbox.
DeleteYes, I hear it is the worst in New York :( Stay safe, avoid people, have fun with the kids, try to use the time to enjoy the family and your isolated moments. I'm currently shopping for books at the sites of our publishers as postage is free currently everywhere, one good thing of this plague :)
DeleteThis morning they upped it to 7100 cases and my daughter's school called to say that a teacher tested positive. My husband is considered an essential worker, but literally needs to drive around with a letter for clearance to be working right now. It's getting worse by the hour and it's really concerning. We'll be hiding in our homes until further notice.
DeleteWhat's the update for your area?
They need to put the state of New York under full lock down, nobody out for two weeks. We have about 120 cases on 7 million citizens and the first dead today, but he had other medical problems, a visit to his son in Milan killed him, sadly. They are opening a few shops in each town for pensioners on Sunday from 4am till 7am while the rest of the world is sleeping :) Imagine night streets filled with old people who usually sleep then.
DeleteWith this quarantine, we've finally been able to catch up on a few shows. I tried to get Allison to watch the polar bear one that Jax is eyeing, but she opted for Frozen 2 and Secret Life of Pets. I did catch Troop 0 on Amazon yesterday, but can't say that we loved it. It was okay, but not great.
ReplyDeleteUnder polar bear you mean the horrid His Dark Materials or something else? Or Timmy Failure? What's Troop?
DeleteIt's Timmy Failure. I haven't watched but I hear it in the background.. It's keeping Luciana occupied, but my son is not liking it. LOL
DeleteI was thinking of watching it myself, looks hilarious :) My publisher published the books here in our country.
DeleteYes, Timmy Failure. Troop Zero was an Amazon original movie. Saw a lot of people talking about how good it was on Facebook last week, but it was just meh. Allison told me it was weird and didn't like my movie pick.
DeleteNever heard of it before, sounds terrible just after googling it LOL I've started Belgravia, and imma gonna download English Game and Letter for the King too this weekend, hopefully.
DeleteLike the look of Jussipo (and music adds to the appeal)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it, Haddock! Thanks for stopping by!
