Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announces that the lockdown will continue until April 13.
***I remember how, in February, undergoing physiotherapy for a bad ankle and elated that the warm winter had given me a headstart on the hard spring garden work, I said, "Oh I wish I had a few extra weeks to myself. I need to heal, to stop limping around Copenhagen, to quit being a martyr to fitness. I wish we weren't going to Sicily this Spring, much as I love any chance to travel. If only I had a little more time to paint. And to write, to write every day... there are stories that have been struggling to get out of my system for years."
If it were only possible to tune out now, respin the cocoon, pretend my small loop of house and fields and trees and water was all there was to the world.
***
I take a walk, alone, in the golden hour... or is it the blue hour? It's 3 degrees above zero. Everything is still, sharply etched, no jet trails in the sky.
