Lockdown extended

As expected the French lockdown has been extended for at least another two weeks, not that it really matters as the canals are still closed so we can’t go anywhere anyway. If we had a home to go to we might have tried to get to Guernsey but as we are without it is easier to stay here for now. On a positive note the local major has advised that there are as yet no COVID cases in Aigues-Mortes so well done everyone here for maintaining their social distancing.
On a more personal positive note we are able to get some deliveries, our mastic gun has arrived, it is one of the tube ones that you put sausage mastic refills in. The mastic or Sikaflex298 refills are due tomorrow from the Chandlers 6km down the road, fingers crossed 🤞. Those few supplies can keep us busy for weeks as we slowly replace all the caulking on our decks ! Apparently we are making some of the other liveaboards feel bad for doing nothing! If I could I would but I’d go mad.
My fitness levels are improving as well though not yet back up to pre trip levels, I’m doing two sessions most days one cardio and one toning/stretching.
We shop only when necessary which is about every three days as that’s how long our 3 litres of fresh milk lasts, we are only allowed three of any one product, this is likely to improve as the days get warmer and we don’t need hot drinks so much. That said it is much warmer down here than back in Guernsey, most days we can wear shorts for our early afternoon dog walks with the neighbour’s dog Tweader. We can also get a few more DIY supplies from the local store which has been allowed to reopen now they have devised a shopping method that maintains the rules, this includes sand paper and I hope some tomato seeds or seedlings so I can grow our own, I have two empty 5 litre water containers I can use for that or beans.
I just wish there was something we could do locally to assist but everything seems to be sorted at the moment, the local Facebook page lets us know what’s happening thanks to the bilingual members.
Keep safe everyoneLes mer
