Hey @lemouth long time no see! Hope you are well. When are you visiting South Africa again?

Yes it has indeed been a while I didn't travel to South Africa. COVID has messed up a lot my travel plans during the last two years, as can easily be imagined. My colleague in Johannesburg, with whom I still work actively (and who is now full professor at U. Johannesburg) visited me several times in  France, and I will see how I can manage to pay him a visit in 2023. This obviously depends a lot on travel money (which is now an issue as most grants evaporated during COVID). We will see (I am however optimistic).

How are you by the way? Is everything al right?

@lemouth Covid messed up everything! My father passed away just before Covid. My husband lost his job but thankfully we recovered nicely and he now has a new post at a new company.  My brother and Naomi on the other hand is struggling tremendously to get back on track.  We help out where we can but it's not always possible. Life is tough for them at the moment but we hope and pray all will come right soon!! He is really struggling with a permanent income although he is working day and night. It will be good to see you when you come to South Africa. You should bring your family.  I will be moving soon to where my husband works so my house will be empty and you are welcome to come and stay here. xx

Wow, what sad news! I am speechless. Really. I am thinking about all of you and I hope life will go back to normal as soon as possible.

I will definitely pass by during my next trip to SA. Details are however very unclear at the moment. I hope for 2023, at least alone, but nothing is however guaranteed. I will keep everyone updated when the situation will become clearer (I have applied last June for a joint SA-France bi-national grant.  Let's cross fingers.
