Hi FS,

Just wanted to check in and say... a man with all Aesops toiletries... DANG, WOMAN. And good books. Agree with everyone else about enjoying where you are and taking it slow and all the rest but that sounds truly fun and nice to be in that position right now. Enjoy.

So glad you are enjoying your vacation too. It is amazing to be somewhere with no-one else and a silver lining to the whole COVID situation. You sound great.

On the communication with D10/14-- can you find a way to communicate with them directly instead of needing to go through your H? My D10 has set up an email account and while she can only use the iPad with permission, she has it during distance learning/school time and emails me the cutest emails from time to time. I'm wondering if your kids have access to a tablet and maybe *this* is what WhatsApp is for? Seems like it would be ideal, if at all possible, to cut your H out of the triangle for communicating with the kids.
