Hello November.

It's November now, and Germany is in what the politicians call "Lockdown Light" - which basically means that events are cancelled, leisure centres are closed, and people are requested to cut down on their social contacts as much as possible. Meetings in private or public are limited to a maximum of five people from two households, but schools stay open and it's still possible to go to work (unless you work at a leisure activity centre like a gym, or at a museum, which is closed.)

For us personally, there won't be much of a change from the last weeks. We've already had severely limited in-person contacts and are both working from home. We'll miss bouldering at our gym, but had reduced our visits the last four weeks already because it was rather too full for our peace of mind in some of the time slots that we could make. For now, I have a video project that will keep me well occupied the next week or so, especially since the start was a bit, um, not going as smoothly as I would have hoped. But I think I have stuff better set up and adjusted now - and hope the whole thing will turn out well!
