BOODAVILLE

Saturday 4th April. I’m not feeling relaxed. I slept in, which wasn’t as good as it should have been. Sometimes I think my skin and allergies are worse when I sleep longer, but I certainly appreciate not being woken up too early! Weekends mean we don’t try for any type of “schooling” and that noone … More Day 23-24 / Lockdown in Barcelona

Friday 3rd April. I desperately want to see the forest garden at Boodaville!! It has rained every week, the rivers are full, I heard from a neighbour who passes by that “everything is very green”. I can imagine!!! I just want to see it for real. I hope he can do me the favour of … More Day 22 / Lockdown in Barcelona

Thursday 2nd April. Struggling to find time to write about today. In summary, exercise is great and by the end of the day I felt better, but yoga wasn’t enough, 8:30pm striding up and down the terrace and running up and down the stairs still wasn’t quite enough, then in the bathroom while Kira was … More Day 21 / Lockdown in Barcelona

Wednesday 1 April. A day of shit British weather, and I don’t mean shit weather “like the British have” I mean a day equivalent to a shit day by British standards. Grey, wind, rain all day and we haven’t seen the sun since Sunday. Boredom hit today, for me and for Kira. The prospect of … More Day 20 / Lockdown in Barcelona

Tuesday 31st March. In the non-coronavirus parallel universe we are traveling to the UK to spend five days with all the cousins in Cornwall. As usual, based on the last few years, the weather in Cornwall for this trip is amazing while it rains in Barcelona. We switched the flights to September last week – … More Day 19 / Lockdown Barcelona

Monday 30th April. A normal day. Lockdown is now normal. The home-schooling flows more freely. I feel refreshed and energised, happy and not scared of the world after two days without news and almost without screens. I “met” a friend. We organised it with calls not messages 🙂 I told him when I was going … More Day 18 / Lockdown in Barcelona

Day 16 Saturday 28th March. The atmosphere is different and much better on a weekend, when we allow the pressure of “schooling” and “work” to lift. We spent some time the three of us just playing and had a big lunch together, with the one other person who shares our building… socialising! I am thinking … More Day 16-17/ Lockdown in Barcelona

Selected resources on ecological breakdown and regenerative cultures. Remember the forest fires? That was before coronavirus. The latest two additions are post-corona, but not about it.

Day 14 Thursday 26th March. What a difference a yoga session makes. Today was messy, we switched the timetable so I was with Kira in the morning, planting potatoes. It’s always the tiniest thing that ruins an activity, today I squashed her fingers a tiny bit with the hammer, and that was it. Game over. … More Day 14 – Lockdown in Barcelona
