Lascours Lockdown, Day 552

Friday, September 17th. 

This morning, during my walk with Fred and Harikana, Garlaban looked quite pretty framed by clouds above and mist below.
Afterwards, I spent the rest of the morning running errands and signing the girls up for their drama classes with Sophie. After a quick lunch, I did yoga and class prep until it was time to pick the girls up at school.
They each came home with a lot of things for me to sign, including tests, home computer equipment surveys in the event of a class closure, Covid testing permission forms, and a field trip permission slip for Laureva. Her class is scheduled to go visit the Jeff Koons exhibit at the Mucem next Friday. Laureva was disappointed that I won't be able to chaperone because of some appointments I can't reschedule. Both girls were off the charts on the number of words they can read in a minute. The rest of their testing results were good as well.
The girls went swimming with Sylvain while I read some of Thomas De Quincey's "The Avenger." Soon, it was time to get dinner started.
I forgot to report on Wednesday that mandatory vaccination for health care workers had gone into effect. Earlier in the week, the news had been reporting that about 10% of workers in the sector had yet to show proof of vaccination. Class closures in France had reportedly risen to 3,300 yesterday. I guess that's about a ten percent increase over the past week. The closed class in Lascours reopened today.

Lucas, who isn't a reader, is off the high side of the chart. The chart is lame.

Perhaps not surprising since they are French kids and would be spelling un ... dix
