MY CORONA

DIARY

It's not easy to show how the world arround me has changed these days.

It shows how important our public space is.

During the exams, students rigorous followed the rules.

Once the exam was finished, they sat together as they always did.

As we did in fact.

In stedelijk milieu was het al wennen: iedereen met een mondmasker op.

Aan de kust leek het nog absurder.

Duidelijk erop uit om covid-19 een poepje te doen ruiken.

I feel at home with this beautifull vendor at the only press-shop in town where they sell Black & White.

Sometimes I think dogs should be born with a handle on their back.

It appears Asian people are used to mouthmasks.

It's not by fear.

It's all about politeness.

Enough is enough.

Looks like a new version for a scene in Space Odyssey 2001.

Most strange examination I ever did.

Students were presenting their yearwork, followed by the whole group.

Except for one student who was laying in his bed, attacked by the covid-19 virus.

All the others behind their desk.

We all hope to meat when possible.

On the train to Brussels, I saw one of my students was repeating my course, on her way to the exam.

Outside the faculty of architecture in Brussels, just before the exam.

No one wears a mask except for one student who takes his course for a mask.

Everybody wears a mask.

NMBS conductor, taking a break.

The advantage of mouthmasks is, one cannot see wether you're angry or just just have your tongue in sheeck.

It's 7:52 in the morning. Albert Heijn opens withing 8 minutes.

Meeting at the Order of Architects.

All members wear caps except for the interpreter.

At the office.

Two engineers silently thinking and studying.

Only people who want to pray are allowed in the cathedral.

I prayed for a meaningfull picture.

Having a smoke break.

This wattman came out of his cockpit to repremand a passenger who pretended not knowing a mask is compulsary on the tram.

During ten weeks, every evening at 20:05, opera diva Annelies Buyssens sang an aria for her neighbors.

All kind of people were listening to her breathtaking arias.
