QUARANTINE
DIARY
The state of alarm came for many as a “big slap in the face”. Our whole life was changing all at once without giving us time to get organized.
The days were passing and we realized that we couldn’t keep waiting for this to happen to get back to normal, so we decided to adapt, to create some routines for ourselves.
At 8:00 am Mark Petrie’s team started a day of teleworking to stay close to you. At 14:00h it was time to rest and eat one of those new recipes that we have learned during this confinement, to take strength and in the afternoon continue to operate in our work.
Once our teleworking schedule was over, we were looking for the perfect plan to pass the time until the GREAT MOMENT, THE MOMENT OF THE SOLIDARITY APPLAUSE
THE GREAT
APPLAUSE
Something that we had never experienced before, was the moment of that great applause, where each neighbour went out on the balcony of their house and thanked by means of a long applause, The great work of these new heroes called SANITARIOS.
Days passed and the applause turned into parties on the balconies, musicians playing their instruments, dancing on the balconies, sirens sounding everywhere.
We are sharing unique moments with our neighbours, people that we didn’t even know existed, I am sure that in each of your communities you have lived unique experiences and we hope, very soon, to be able to listen to them.
CREATIVIDAD
Many of us have taken advantage of this confinement to bring out our more artistic side.
Ana wanted to collaborate with the cause and decided to devote her free time to sewing these masks to protect us from possible infection.
Arturo’s children created a banner of encouragement for all of us, in addition, they created their own
handicraft channel, demonstrating the great imagination they have developed during this long confinement.
GREAT IDEAS
Mirror, mirror...
Creating these mirrors have been some of the things Amparo has done during her confinement
In addition, Eva has also taken the opportunity to give her house a new look by papering the walls with fancy wall paper.
At Eva’s house they are celebrating, because her dog Rita gave birth to these little puppies, Winnie and Pingo, that’s how her daughter decided to call them.
He has also taken advantage of the confinement to read, cook and give our Denia office hall a new look.
However, Mark has merged imagination with sport; in the absence of some weights for lifting he has used two 2L bottles of water.
