No-one loves living in limbo.
But with all the uncertainty that exists right now, Eliza and Geraldine are training themselves to live better without the normal certainties of life.
Geraldine has stopped trying to forecast when the Covid lockdown may end.
Eliza is drawing on her experience as an expat to live amidst the discomfort of a life (somewhat) beyond her control.
Also this week: what do deadlines do to lifetimes? The New Yorker asks us the question and makes some suggestions. Do you favour the 'Pomodoro Technique' of working, or are you more in favour of time blocking?
And revisiting the 1973 Yom Kippur war through the HBO series "Valley of Tears".
