Cher Madame,
Things have been very strange here.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You’re telling me.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
I’m telling you?
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
It’s an expression. It means I’m emphatically agreeing with you. That things have become very strange everywhere.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
This pauvre petit cat was hoping that peut-être Madame would explain le strangeness.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Where to start! The masks, the isolation, the worry, the numbers, the people behind the numbers, the sadness for the suffering, the masks, the ordering everything on line…
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
The masks were mentioned twice by Madame.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Well, there you are. That’s how strange it is.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
But you are not mentioning another strangeness. Madame is talking to people on her laptop these days. That does not seem like a normal thing to do.
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
You are right. That is part of the strangeness. Having to rely upon FaceTime and Skype and Zoom to visit with friends and with our daughter. 
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
It is better than when your daughter comes to visit in person. With her dog. That rude cur. Who was on the FaceTime and barking on your screen. 
Regards, M. Le Poufin

Dear Puffin,
Mika was probably barking at you. They could see you sitting there. Looking bored. Until the barking started. Then you looked like you had been goosed.
Love, Carolyn

Cher Madame,
Toujours le sarcasm.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
