Lascours Lockdown, Day 696

Wednesday, February 9th. 


I'd like to send out a friendly reminder to everyone not to pick your nose while you're stopped in traffic. I saw two drivers doing just that behind me while stopped at traffic lights today.

Four students didn't attend my first class of the day because they thought - mistakenly, it turned out - that they had been in contact with someone who had Covid. I was confused when I took the roll as I thought I had seen some of them in the classroom. One of them later emailed to explain. They had been there for a first class, but then left before mine when they apparently got some erroneous information. At the end of class, I distributed the final batch of Valentine's. One student later emailed me to thank me for preparing the cards and spreading some cheer in these difficult times. 

I taught until 5, so didn't walk in the door until three minutes before 6pm yoga. I managed to get connected and change just in the nick of time. 

This morning, Laureva started reading a new Mortelle Adele book that she bought for a book report she has to do. When I got home, I asked her whether she'd finished it. She said she had. When I expressed surprise, she responded that it was only eighty-seven pages long. Maeva said she had also read the whole thing and that they'd both finished it before lunch.

This afternoon, Marie-Elisabeth took the girls down to the park to ride bicycles. Laureva has a new bicycle that her grandmother found at the Ressourcerie. She seemed excited to have a bike with gears. Maeva had a little mishap at the end of the afternoon. She lost control of her bike, ran into a cypress tree and fell off. She has a few very minor contusions on hands and one knee.

Is your advice to drivers, then, that they should always pick their noses while moving? Is there a minimum speed? ;-)

I'd say only when they're the first car in the line, as long as no one is facing them from directly across the intersection. Or just use a tissue.
