A Lockdown Vlog

[@stuffthings3481]

This is the only good thing to come from the virus is to see ur face on utube again

[@ToxicAli3n]

28 minutes of joy. I'm going to save this for during my morning coffee.

[@nilulal545]

Omg goodness what a delightful suprise!!😊 you were so missed.. i was just thinking about you just couple days ago.. this sure makes my day.. and yes you are right in times of trial we all need positve encouragement and that comes from eachother ❤

[@Musical_Stitches]

You and Zeus are so lovely! Thank you for such a sweet video!

[@cariduffy5242]

Thank you Helene! This is a wonderful cozy day in the life video. You help us get through our lock down days with your charming and peek into life in a beautiful home with a gorgeous cat Zeus! It is a delight to see you again. Best wishes and stay safe.

[@giselaperez6746]

So glad to see you again. I liked when you didn't panic because didn't have oil for make the muffins👍. That Zeus is so cute, watching the muffin just in case 😻🤔 This situation that the world is living is so sad but also has united us across the planet. Hard to say, but is like living a dystopian story. If we read it in a book we would say that's impossible that could happen. But here we are, living it. Thank you for sharing your story in this chapter of our life. I'm in Puerto Rico, we are in lock down. We are supposed to go to "normal" on March 30th. We cannot go outside unless you need to use a primary service like supermarket, pharmacy doctors appointments or certain jobs. In my building you cannot go outside unless is necessary. There is a curfew at 9:00 pm until 5:00 am. I'm doing like you, staying at home by myself. I am eating healthier, my exercise routine is go up and down the stairs like 5 times. Cleaning the house and reading. I bought some flowers, I have candles and soft music. Take care. Waiting for another vlog.

[@elliewiltshire7001]

So good to see you and Zeus again. He is very funny trying to pinch your chocolate muffin 😂🤣 I'm glad he let's you share his new King size bed too. Thanks for the video looking forward to more.

[@Usvaa]

This has got to be my favourite of all your vlogs. Just delightful!

[@giuliacanta5465]

So glad you came back to keep us company! I'm from Italy and the situation here is just terrible 😔 stay safe and lots of love ♥

[@helenejeppesen2133]

cherry 'sgone Lots of love from me to you ❤️ Lets hope this madness will be over VERY soon!

[@misanthropistbookworm]

Ahh, it's been so long! I've missed you! And I'm glad to see you back and healthy! I hope you and your loved ones stay healthy and safe in spite of the circumstances. I hope you're back for good, even if it's blogging and not booktubing. I loved this vlog and the little snippets of your life, of your work and of you speaking Danish! Thank you for sharing with us and keep coming back, please! :) Take care! :*

[@mrsjaynesarah1923]

Your videos have been so missed. This is perfectly timed and uplifting as ever 💚. I'm an electronic resources librarian in the UK, so I start working from home tomorrow.

[@andrewbrendan1579]

Thank you for having us over for a visit, Helene! It was great spending time with you and Zeus and I feel more relaxed because of it as I've been handling arrangements for a disabled family member who has to move at one of the worst possible times. Thankfully, the move is only within the same building but it's been surprisingly complicated.---I work at Indiana University and my last time there for who knows how long was this past Sunday evening. I work in what used to be an elementary school and, best as I could tell, I was the only person in the entire building and at night. For convenience and security I brought my bike indoors and when I was done and on my way to the entrance/exit doors I rode my bike through the halls!---"Lock Every Door" was excellent! I used to be a house-sitter for people who were away on vacation so this book especially interested me.

[@josephhudson7378]

Hello Helene. I am glad to see you still making videos. Hopefully we can get more videos.

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

So glad to see you again Helene, you are missed. As you said the world is crazy right now , difficult times!

[@librarygoblin94]

You have been so missed! Thank you so much for coming back.

[@SpindlesFingers]

This video was so comforting! It felt like listening to a friend talk through their day. Please do more videos

[@nereafernandez6519]

Yay!!! I'm so glad to see you back!!!

[@doreenlow4095]

I cannot begin to tell you how much I have missed your videos!! You are like a breath of fresh air to me!!

[@TheJenniferwitmer]

This is the first video I’ve watched of yours as I’ve just found your channel! You are the cutest! Your videos are so calming :)

[@dhurd4099]

Thank you for your vlog. I enjoy and have missed them. While I love the book part of BookTube the snippets of tea, coffee, or food prep are sooooo soothing. 🙂

[@melrose718]

Oh Helene, this video just made me so happy! Seeing you and Zeus again has been such a delightful treat! I miss your coffee, your book reviews, baking, even your apt.! But mainly, your sweet self :) So glad you made this connection!

[@cutoutpaperheart]

YAY! Fave booktuber back! :)

[@amusicalbookworm]

Love your vlogs and love seeing you again! Be safe and healthy!

[@AshtheViking]

Glad you're back! Here in Canada I'm planning for 3+ weeks at home since my work shut down all non-essential functions. Planning on going for long walks outside everyday. I have some trails near my house that I rarely encounter people on so those should be nice. I'm ready for lots of reading time, I picked up an embroidery kit to learn a new skill, there's lots of free ecourses online to try. One thing I really wish I had was a pet. Guess I will just have to talk to myself though I guess vlogging could make that a little less weird.

[@sandramiksawrites]

I'm a French teaching assistant and I can definitely relate to having to record lecture!!! Omg Helene I loved the return of the reading vlog; a happy playful Zeus, all the coffees, the baking, and you playing and singing the guitar (you're so good and have such a beautiful voice woow!) This video greatly comforted me and I thank you for that. ❤️❤️ From, Ontario, Canada.

[@AmandaCornell]

A delightful surprise to see your face again ☺️ Absolutely vlog and talk to us all you want! I’m in the states and understand the need to have human interaction any way you can. Definitely a good time to enjoy our hobbies and passions and think of how we can help others. All the best!

[@Emmareads15]

Great to see you again Helene, wonderful distraction from the crazy world right now! Love your new sofa and bed, both look super comfy, and the blankets on the sofa look lovely and soft. I think Zeus is enjoying having you at home more too!

[@cherylf.9131]

Enjoyed seeing a vlog from you again! Wish it were under better circumstances. Definitely crazy times. Take care. Hello to Zeus also!

[@lovemyne22]

😍 What a gorgeous cat!!!!!

[@gdandrews]

This is just what we need right now! It was lovely to see an update from you. Thank you for sharing and stay well.

[@brittanyrose1185]

I’ve missed your videos so much! At least one good thing has come from all of this. I hope you continue posting! 💜

[@nirmalch]

Beautiful video and interesting details for people to see from around the world. How different yet same some things are. Please keep posting such vlogs.

[@Shadowhuntedwizards]

So happy to see you back on KZbin! Things are crazy right now but we’ll get through it.

[@TheCurlyLee]

Your guitar playing was delightful! It truly made me smile. thank you!

[@shelleylawrence8397]

I love your room changes! They look terrific.

[@susiekidd9183]

Wow, didn’t realize you play 🎸 & sing! Thanks for vlogging! So great to “visit” with you & Zeus, from the other side of the globe, bizarre as things are now. I’m in SoCal & we’re locking more things down every day. 😬 Stay well!! 💕 Thanks again.

[@trolareca]

Welcome back! I am so thrilled with your return. In Portugal we are home too and our schools are closed up. My husband and I are both teachers so we are confined to our home with our three small kids, which can be very stressful sometimes. So your vlog is perfect for when I am feeding the babies. Btw, loved seeing you speaking in Danish. :) Happy reading!

[@margaridaferreira8029]

But at least we still have our radio! I am working from home, and to still be able to hear the guys from Radio Comercial is awesome (to anyone who is not from Portugal, the radio hosts are also working from home). Saúde e sorte!

[@carriewyatt8583]

Helene, I LOVE your vlogs! So wonderful and cozy! ❤️

[@arielale7832]

Thanks for your support and thoughts, Helene. I live in the North East of Italy and thanks goodness I can work from home (I work at the HR dept of a big manufacturing company). Otherwise I'd get crazy. The other evening in our neighborhood we played the national anthem from our balconies. It gives us much strength! Take care and thanks for your video!! We will make it 🙏💪

[@kellybarrett1561]

I live in Upstate New York and we are also on lockdown. Loved spending time and keeping each other company!!

[@eynuh]

Love this very relaxing and enjoyable vlog, despite the circumstances we’re in. Great seeing you back again in booktube! Hope you enjoy the rest of The Flatshare!

[@theresas709]

So good to see you again.I missed you and Zeus. I really enjoyed reading The Flatshare. Great apron, by the way. I am in Illinois USA and they just shut down our schools also. We also were told that all bars and restaurants can only do take away food. It is really scary for my mother who is 90 years old.Take care of yourself :)

[@Anita-bs3mc]

So wonderful to see you and Zeus again. I always enjoy all your vlogs. Hope that you and yours stay well. ❤️

[@shelleylawrence8397]

I hope you start vlogging again! I miss your videos. It was great to see you and Zeus again. This was very cozy & reassuring. Thank you.

[@Gaga30714]

I love your bookcases! I enjoy your videos, from California!

[@jennifermarea8011]

I'm so happy to see you're working out! I think a lot of people forget about this while staying inside but it's very important to keep our immune systems ready to fight the virus.

[@DramaLlama2310]

This was a great idea! Good luck with the lock down. We are not locked down yet, but I already feel the cabin fever lol. Best wishes to you and Zeus! It was nice seeing you again!

[@JosipaKat]

I am so glad to see you back on yt! 😊 I can relate to your situation so much, it pretty much the same in Croatia! I am a teacher too! I teach German and Italian and we closed the schools too and we do online teaching, but I won't record myself 🙈, just send presentations and instructions 😁 hopefully, everything will be back to normal soon! 🤗

[@heyitslori]

So wonderful to see you again! Thank you so much! Hope you stay safe and well. xx

[@nicolereed2913]

[@valerieohara3649]

Thank you

[@GwendolynKensinger]

It was great watching your video. My brother in law and his family live in Denmark so I really enjoyed just hanging out watching half way around the world :)

Hi Helene it’s so good to see you and Zeus (he is so cute)! It’s my second day at home and I’m reading “The Diary of Anne Frank” and like you I am filming a vlog 😊 Lots of kisses from Portugal and take care!

[@sylviaanderson4294]

It was wonderful to see you again! I am in the U.S. and just retired on Friday, so I was already planning on some heavy reading time. I am concentrating on mysteries this month for booktube’s March Mystery Madness. I hope you and everyone else stays healthy and safe. We will all get through this. Thanks for your encouraging vlog! Come back again soon!

[@wiesiawiesia5391]

Such a heartwarming video. So happy to see you and Zeus :)

[@giojo46]

I'm sorry but as an italian strawberry coffee just sounds wrong 😂 well, to each their own! It's good to see you again. Yeah, the situation in Italy is a bit surreal right now...but at least we have books and booktube to keep us company

[@dieanni7531]

So happy to see one of your fantastic videos during this strange time :) stay safe and healthy Helene

Hello from Canada!!! I missed you and your videos!!! It is great to have you back!!!1

[@vickicook9165]

What a delightful surprise to have this video pop up! You and Zeus the Wonder Cat have been missed. Stay safe in these difficult times. Here in Florida there are a few cases of the corona virus, stores are limiting their hours and toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, water are flying off the shelves.

[@sidekicka7x]

It's so good to see you again, you've been missed! Our world really is in quite a state, it's heartbreaking.

[@BrentYoshida]

Excellent video & positive vibe!

Nice to see you... Stay safe... I am in Lebanon.. Schools closed two weeks ago, but starting tonight we are under a national lockdown too...

[@lasaves3207]

OMG Helene, you've got an Edward Hopper painting? (5:57) Where did you get it?

[@helenejeppesen2133]

Yes, but it's just a print (obviously) from a poster store here in Denmark :)

[@lasaves3207]

Helene Jeppesen Hahah, yes, I figured it wasn’t the original :P Thanks for replying! I’ve been looking for good (online) poster stores because I want one too :)

[@paulagonzalez1721]

Delightful video. Thank you. ❤️

[@paulakrumholz6380]

So good to see you & Zeus!!

[@joan98610]

In Spain we can't leave our homes (we get fined). I see that reading and doing sport are common activities in countries with lockdowns. Hope it gets better over there and all over the world!

[@enteringthetwilightzone]

So glad to see a new video from you!

[@coal2k]

So lovely to see you, Helene!

[@jackiesliterarycorner]

My library closed too, but his means I can focus on my personal collection of books again.

[@jasminjacobsen3044]

So happy you're back! I've been missing your videos! Btw was that Buffy? I love that show!

[@helenejeppesen2133]

Jasmin Jacobsen YES! I’m addicted to Buffy these days and just started the 4th season 😍

[@jor_r8769]

I love those hardcovers without the dust jackets.
