Hello everyone as you are probably listening to this from your homes.

Welcome back to the airport. I'm your host Omit Skobobe and I'm joined by the power of technology.

Maggie Rooley, a wonderful foreign correspondent. We're separated by about 80 miles still. I think that's not going to change for some time.

It's too far. I miss seeing your face, Ahmed.

Well, I'm glad it's good to hear the smile and your voice because I think that everyone has sort of reached a somewhat testing time now with the sort of period of isolation that we've all had obviously

In the last episode that we did, the country had just entered a nationwide lockdown and that

continues for the foreseeable future and that's pretty much the same around the world now.

Yeah, you know, I realize I miss all the little interactions, like talking to the grocery at the grocery store and, you know, visiting my little cheese shop to get my special cheeses all the things that you

kind of take for granted those little hellos throughout the day it's it's really jarring

when all of a sudden they're taken away.

I know it's tough I mean mean, I think being journalists, you're pretty much on call

24-7 and there is never really like one evening where you're completely off. So it is those

little moments that give you just those like boosts of

pleasure throughout the day and so sometimes for me it's just getting a coffee and

not being able to do that. It takes a little getting used to. I've tried to sort of

of like make routines up for everything so if I go down and use the nespresso machine and make my own then I'll just sort of like imagine that I'm perhaps not in my kitchen

You're somewhere else.

No, it's true and there's definitely been a lot of things

that all of a sudden this past week I've sort of learned to do

in a new way that I really love and I want to remember in life after lockdown like you

mentioned your coffee routine I rediscovered my love for the French press and I

have this little like front porch area and every morning I've been going out there
