Twenty-second day of quarantine

     Dear Fran,

     I must tell you that a few days ago I received an email from the Culture Technician of Lora del Río with the artists who had been selected in the Painting Contest promoted by the City Council of that city, and I have to tell you that I am not among those chosen for the final exhibition.

Nineteenth day of quarantine

        We just had our second telematics painting class.

Sixteenth day of quarantine

     They say that tightness in the chest is one of the symptoms. What I miss the most is physical contact. When we go out into the street, I will remove from my interior all the hugs that compress my chest.

Eleventh day of quarantine

     A few days ago, I do not know where, I read this: Germany will close its borders with France, Austria and Switzerland tomorrow Monday, not only due to the coronavirus, but to prevent panic purchases by citizens of the mentioned countries. 

     Do you want black or white?

     To put words in his nephew´s mouth, Basilio Nebreda was a man "resigned to the unhappiness of having no one with whom to share the activities that really fascinated him." And I must guess that he was mainly referring to his wife.

Many more families will lose their loved ones

Ciencia y Caridad. A teenager, but already a great artist, titled like that a great, for its dimensions but above all for its quality, painting where a doctor examines a sick woman in bed. A nun and a small child also appear on the canvas.

Toilet tissue

I go out and everyone talks about the same thing. A woman and a man each of them with their dog they are talking; an old lady on her cell phone urges her family and friends to fill the fridge with food and they will run and they will seize with the supermarket stock: the shelves will be empty.
