One month ago on March 17 at 12pm. France started a full lockdown that allows going out only for necessary shopping, seeing a doctor, or exercising for one hour, once a day, within one kilometer from home. So far we have gone grocery shopping once or twice a week, and running every day, usually around 7 o’clock in the morning.  We have been really lucky with the weather, days have been mostly sunny and warm, with occasional strong wind but no rain! But that will change this weekend; the weather forecast promises rain for most of the coming week. Nature will be grateful, and so will be those suffering from seasonal allergies, like me this year; this  has been exceptionally bad spring allergy-wise. Hopefully a little rain will help.
