Am trying to imagine a world where we must watch movies in which all folks wear mask, social-distanced, in bad humor, and facing audiences over streaming, attending awards over zoom
Where we must shy away from NYC during summer breaks, and in fact not go around at all except and possibly not even the beach
Where ...
Etc etc etc rather grim to contemplate, and if definitively so, would intone, “activate Plan B”
My wife and I both feel that our times in Cape Town passed the fastest, all 5 months of the stay, and Vancouver transit, the 20 days also pretty quick, and now in HK, so much slower, whereas normally we probably would have expected fastest in HK and w/ Cape Town bringing up the rear.
Explanation ... we did not have household help in Cape Town and in Vancouver, and had to tool against the clock to provide food and amusement to the kids.
Yesterday was second day of on-line school and the Jack rebelled and refused to wear school uniform. Erita dressed as pretty as ever. Go figure.
Coconut taking to physics as took to chemistry and biology and mathematics and history and literature. One of five girls in class of 28.
For socialization hour, the jack shall show & tell about gold, and fiat money inflation, and war financing per his computer game. The artifact he intends to show is the krugerrand.
Both kids learning well enough.
Both spoke to gramps yesterday, and know they are stuck in Malaysia with no flight service, and in any case we cannot expect them to sit through 12-hours of HK entry process after a 3-hours flight from Penang.
Day 1 posted earlier - proper uniform but insurrection by seating stance
Day 2 - breakdown of civilization, but seated properly
