With school closures, new family habit is to get the kids out for early morning play while thing are quiet.
Have to say, I’m really enjoying this way to start our day together.

Friends & colleagues in clean air locations: spare a thought (and a deep inhale/exhale) for folks in Delhi - most importantly those who don't have the luxury of ducking out selectively for days/weeks when the going gets tough.

I love many things about life in

but something I miss dearly from

is my daily commute along the

More than half of all journeys to school and work in Copenhagen take place by bicycle. People like it that way.
