Adventures during lock-down exist of a walk around the block - getting out of the house, literally walk for 15 minutes or so, avoiding other people, looking suspiciously at the dog walker not minding there are other people on the path...
Yeah - welcome to 2020 where human interaction is changing by the day.
The other thing happening though is people smiling at each other. When we both make an effort to get out of each others way there's a "hello" and/or "thank you" involved.
Weird.
Lovely.
Normally in the big city people ignore each other as good as they can.
The neighbours have been cleaning up the hood. The municipality lended our block of houses some tools and some neighbours have been using them to pick up litter.
Why not? In times of lock-down there's a lot of joy in cleaning up, having a reason to go outside. Making oneself useful. Sharing the results on the Facebook page of those same neighbours and feel good because you made everyone happy.
Another lovely thing.
I noticed the kids suitcase first, filled with toys, but not worn-down toys, they looked good and were even explicitely shown to the passerby by having it open, a tiny toys expo of sorts.
I walked a bit further and noticed another colourful thing on the streets. This time a cardboard box filled with box. This time more explicit: it had a written note next to it saying that you could take what you want.
And so I was back home 15 minutes after I had left it. It still filled my phone with pictures and my heart with a few smiles. Traces of Happy during a short but worthwhile walk during lock-down.
