Summary

Day four of the lockdown. Police have given out 18,000 fines to people caught outside without their note.

Me and my wife Lina are in our 30 sqm apartment in Montmartre (322sq feet) watching life from the balcony.

We talk about the guilt in going out for exercise, the Rear Window life, and visits to the bakery.
