my diaries during the Quarantine day 8
As I told you in the last time, today I will explain to you why when it rains it becomes a real problem for me. As you know I’m spending my quarantine with my family in the forest, we are 12 km far from the city, but there only 7 km of this 12 km is paved, and the remaining five aren’t tarred. So when the rain falls it becomes useless, It’s for this reason I let my car at the last point of the paved road. Fortunately, no stranger has ever tried to steal it because it is guarded by the soldiers who are working at the military base from a few individuals. Thy are guarding a small place of our king, so I can tell that my car is very lucky, but I have to walk to my house, and I don’t want to do that when the weather is bad. I’m afraid to get wet and to be sick. The circumstances will be complex, especially if I fall sick by the influenza, this disease can cause me to be confined alone in a hospital for some days.
But what about the goods, although we have a small truck we can’t to use it for the same reason : the bad route, so I use the donkey. He is called Moha, he is very helpful, before I get to the place where I leave my car, I ask my brother to wait for me accompanied by Moha. when we meet each other I put what I shopped on Moha’s back and we go home, in the house I sterilize all the goods that I bring from the city before giving them to my family, Even my clothes, I remove them and put them into the washing machine. Then I go to take a shower , and wish not to return to the town until two weeks later.
Bathing has always helped me improve my mood. Now is the time for resting and drinking a warm cup of Moroccan mint tea, and eating delicious bread cooked on firewood oven.
In a moment like this, I feel like I was in a science fiction movie. This situation reminds me of a US film entitled ‘’I’m legend’’, of Will Smith. it was a very nice movie but the reality is very bad and scary.
See you….
