Life's a Stitch

An update from our family:

We’re amongst those far from home observing the world in turmoil via CNN International. As house sitters were still willing to follow through, we arrived in Bali ahead of travel advisories, armed with a decent supply of antibacterial wipes, purposely booking connecting flights through a city held up as Asia’s paragon of infection control and a resulting low incidence of COVID-19. 

It seems there are few cases here in Bali as well, giving credence to the warm weather concept (actually it’s crazy hot here). Of course there are conspiracy theorists who say officials are lying so it won’t affect tourism. If you look at one of the disease mapping projects, currently the heat theory appears supported.

We are receiving emails, iMessage and WhatsApp messages, and FaceTime calls with no problem. We are not receiving calls/texts on our Canadian phone numbers. And thanks to all for your Bali Birthday wishes. So all’s well here in paradise, where we, M and KC are visiting our son, B and his girlfriend’s mother. Stay healthy!
