I planned to move to Paris in March 2020. Coronavirus, this nicely named virus, thwarted my plans, at least it delayed them for a while.
I had to spend my lockdown time in Bucharest, longing to see my Parisian lover. Being forced to wait, I did what I usually do; I wrote and documented the experience.
This diary is about our online love, happening while the world fights the virus. You’ll find a few interesting culinary recipes, some thoughts about the ongoing situation, a story that happened in Egypt a few years ago, and a wise Arab telling me about the eagles.
The quarantine is not yet over, but it was a useful time to reorganize our thoughts and habits. I hope this lockdown was useful for you too.
