I left home, and 10 mins later I took my phone out with a bare hand in -16C weather to watch a video of my daughter I had taken right before leaving. She totally owns me.

One of the oldest cafes in my hometown just increased the price of espresso from 0.60 to 0.80 Euros. Outrageous.

Trovata farmacia con bombole. Chiude alle 20, bisogna fare presto. Il farmacista che al telefono era stato molto gentile di persona è scontroso. Questa bombola c'è o non c'è? Il problema è che non siamo clienti abituali. "Dove avete preso le bombole fino ad ora?" 6/n

Risultato tampone: positiva. Nel frattempo crisi respiratoria si aggrava. C'è bisogno di bombola di ossigeno. Viene chiesto a mio padre di andare dal medico curante a prendere la ricetta e portarla al centro (!) 3/n
