We think our elder nephew should rather be with their mom, but the more appropriate isn't always the more willing.
Also yesterday, my husband and I had a Whatsapp initial meeting with our upcoming land lady. Prior to that, we had only dealt with the realtor she used to find tenants. Normally she wouldn't have been so eager to talk to us (and see us) so early, but the house is her former home, that she eventually wants to give to one of her children, who are all still small kids. She was very pleasant, so it was a good interaction. She started the meeting just speaking Czech with my husband, but later started speaking English with me. That's nice, but I didn't expect it. She did strongly recommend that I learn Czech, which is obviously a necessity. She said an English spouse of a Czech tenant of hers finds himself a bit isolated. I am aware of this and it should push myself to be studious.

Sorry about your nephew in law. That virus really seems to be raging. Spooky.
How much of the language do you now speak, Soupe?
