Day 18:

Evacuation Grace is onto step 3.  She flew from London to Rome last night and had an over nite in an airport hotel.  She is now going to check in for her flight to Torino.  I'll be leaving in a couple hours to pick her up.  The police are stopping people on the motor way to see their auto-certifications regarding travel.  I have mine plus a copy of her passport and airline ticket for proof.  3000 euro fine if out and about without an approved reason.  We've prepared her space as tho there was bio-hazard

double plastic sheeting

which I guess there is...

I have her!  Operation Evacuation Grace has been a success.  She is now tucked away in her room and I'm laundering her clothes.  Shoes and bags outside.  All door handles re-sanitized.   Still can't believe how bizarre this all is. 

Off to wash the floor.  Stay well.  xxoo me
