Self-imposed isolation, day 5

The definite highlight of today: food delivery! My DH brought me a big box of supplies, and he had thrown in chocolate! Lots of chocolate! I also got to see him and our daughter (from a safe distance) as they dropped off the provisions.

 

It is almost weekend. We have this habit of celebrating the weekend on Friday evenings. I usually bake something, then we watch a movie and eat ice cream. When our daughter was little, she used to tell everyone that we have a party every Friday! Well, true, only it’s a very small party. 😄 This time will be different, but we’re doing our best to stick to the traditions, perhaps to give us some feeling of normalcy in this weird situation. We will have a video chat, and we even have some Carelian pies (though not home-made, from the store).

 

E-reader case

I haven’t posted in a while, mostly because I’ve been busy translating, revising our manuscript, reading source books and – very unusual for a hermit such as myself – meeting other people! In addition to family members, we even got together with some very dear friends who live far away. It had been a long time since we last saw each other, and the reason I'm telling you all this is that we were actually brought together by books. See, books are amazing! So are friends. 😊

But now I wanted to show you my new e-reader (Kindle paperwhite) cover. Isn’t it beautiful?

When I first saw it, I knew right away that this was the one! It comes from this company here, and the note included said that it has been hand crafted using traditional book binding techniques. 😍

Since I’ve been carrying my Kindle along with me simply in my bag or, on longer trips, in a small fabric pouch, I’m happy to have this case to protect my precious. Only, I like the cover so much that I think I should now protect it, too...
