During the bike ride I saw at least three or four patrols. One of these patrols had stopped a biker and were checking his papers, a second patrol was checking that the barriers were still in place. In a third case it was the Police Municipale driving towards me near Vevey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s the fiftieth day of solitary confinement for me and I have moments when I feel fine and normal, and others where I don&#8217;t. I would love to say that I found an excellent way to celebrate the fiftieth day of self-isolation but I didn&#8217;t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fifty days in self-isolation would have been very different if the weather had been bad. If the weather had been bad I would have spent more time gaming and doing other passive things like watching television series or reading books. In theory life will be back to the new normal in a week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I suppose that going on the bike ride that took me furthest from home in fifty days should count for something. The weather is nice enough to be in cycling clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1066\" height=\"1232\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screenshot-2020-05-04-at-17.29.49.png?fit=886%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screenshot-2020-05-04-at-17.29.49.png?w=1066&amp;ssl=1 1066w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screenshot-2020-05-04-at-17.29.49.png?resize=260%2C300&amp;ssl=1 260w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screenshot-2020-05-04-at-17.29.49.png?resize=768%2C888&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screenshot-2020-05-04-at-17.29.49.png?resize=886%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 886w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screenshot-2020-05-04-at-17.29.49.png?resize=150%2C173&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screenshot-2020-05-04-at-17.29.49.png?resize=200%2C231&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.main-vision.com\/richard\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Screenshot-2020-05-04-at-17.29.49.png?resize=780%2C901&amp;ssl=1 780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>A glimpse of the flyby action. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I was scrolling through Tik Tok videos I found one video that was ideally suited for a duet.
