Did you know that the first corona related post I made was back on 14 March, 2020? The title was A Saturday morning like any other? (Or: Changing times in The Netherlands). This was a few days after we were told to start working from home. Here is a funny tidbit: “I’m looking forward to going back in when this is all over, although there were a lot of jokes going around that we wouldn’t see each other for months.” I guess it wasn’t a joke in the end?
I then proceeded to write one post each day for the next 434 days. My main goal has always been to keep my family back in the states informed with what was going on on this side of the pond.
This post is thus post #435. Things are going better in the Netherlands, although I always feel I should say that with a note of caution. Today there were 1,596 corona infections reported in the last 24 hours, the lowest number since mid-September. Dutch hospitals are also seeing improvement, as there are now less than 1,000 people hospitalized.
I’ve decided to deliberately end my daily blog writing streak. I will still write blog posts, just maybe not every day. 🙂
Here is another streak I did: 365 days of blog posts. Back when I started the blog I posted every day for one year straight. So maybe there will be another streak in my future… but hopefully not due to a future pandemic.

Although i have enjoyed the streak of blog posts very much I understand deliberately breaking it is probably a good thing. Thank you for the daily interesting bits of info i most likely would not have known about otherwise and I am looking forward to the next post. 👍
Hehe thanks for your nice compliment 🙂
Oh no, what will you do tonight after dinner? So much free time 🙂
True, true… it will feel a bit weird I think!
Thank you for the daily updates. I enjoyed all the interesting things that you wrote about.
There will be more updates of course! Just not a post if there’s nothing too special to write about on that day. 🙂
