Well that definitely looks like a link I'm going to just go ahead and click.

LOL!

I see an increase in these kind of e-mails (Phishing and such) these
couple of days.

How is it going?

Over here there was yesterday a press conference from our government.
Some measures will be slightly lifted. Children below the age of 12 may
go to school again, under certain conditions. Also they may practise
outdoor sports again in team form, also under certain conditions. All
big events are cancelled up to 31 of August. This means no summer
festivals this year. No major sports events.

Next month all children up to 18 years will follow. Outdoor sports they
then also may do as a team but only if the sport allows to stay away
from each other. We will hear next month if other measures can be lifted.

Still tooling along quietly here. Last I saw, Finland had about 170 deaths which is pretty horrible.

Otherwise going okay. Was hoping to get more writing done but really unmotivated right now to do anything except vegetate on the couch. I'm playing a lot of Nintendo Switch (just got Link's Awakening which is fun and nostalgic).

We're still not sure, but schools might be going back for a couple of weeks before summer holiday starts. Nobody's quite sure why that would be useful in any way.

Our big roleplayers' convention Ropecon at the end of July was cancelled, so I won't be marketing my books there this year at least. Amusingly, the theme for the convention this year was "The End of the World". A little bit too close for comfort.

Our flight to Australia at the end of June is most likely cancelled at this point but we haven't heard from the airline yet. No point taking a four-week vacation if we spend two weeks in quarantine each way.

And Janica's birthday bash mid-June will be postponed until later in the year. Hopefully.

170 to much. In the Netherlands its around 2200 now I think.

Aha! :) Nostalgic indeed.

Here the same. We have two camps: One camp of parents who want their
children back to school because they are stressed out of doing two jobs
at ones (teacher and normal work). Other camp wants to keep the children
at home until the whole crisis is over. Goverment and schools are for
option 1 because then the children will have the least to catch up later.

LOL. Not a good theme indeed.

Hopefully they will refund you when it is cancelled.

Pish. COVID killed that many Americans before breakfast today.

I mailed a bunch of old paperbacks to a friend's teenage son. Gemmell, Pratchett, Abercrombie, Bakker, Lynch. All of my recent stuff is ebook formats.

Just tell me when and I won't be there.
