So after a surreal day at work with 3 students in, the PM has introduced far more stringent measures and its lockdown: only can go out for food shopping, medical, work if critical and exercise. These will be testing times and I will look to work from home until Friday, when I’m rota’d to beContinue reading “Draconian measures 1”

A sixth of the year done
Two months down in 2020 already, which means March is here and spring! We’ve had so much wind and rain this last month: I can’t imagine how those families are living with flooding or the immediate likelihood of it. Having experienced a flash flood whilst pregnant over 30 years ago, to live with that fearContinue reading “A sixth of the year done”
February half term 2020
I always enjoy working when school is closed as it is so quiet: not true this time… contractors, builders, perspective suppliers, fire alarms going off, and across the road tree surgery!!!Despite this its great to go in later and leave earlier: the mornings getting lighter and the evenings stretching out. I’ve worked on GDPR, theContinue reading “February half term 2020”
As we await 2020 and all that can bring…
As we are about to move from this year to the next, I thought I’d just write a précis of the year. The year itself has already been well documented with the majority of the events with photos. It started as it ended with a sad loss of dear family and also the tragic lossContinue reading “As we await 2020 and all that can bring…”
Getting plastered!
Another full week of work, journeys, and decisions. Saturday was a trip to Twickenham to see Fiji v Barbarians, a slow burner but an exciting finish. Sunday was a trip to look at flooring options with the decision in the balance I made a few cards: my first foray into Christmas! Door choice was theContinue reading “Getting plastered!”
A window, a kitchen and exciting times ahead
Another full on week with much time spent in getting a kitchen sorted. Thanks to Wren and our builders we should, fingers crossed, have it installed before Christmas. I still have to sort out the flooring though! Georgina met Oliver and is besotted. She also met her friend’s new puppy and similarly besotted too! WeContinue reading “A window, a kitchen and exciting times ahead”
Three quarters of 2019
Such a busy week, starting with our niece’s baby shower. A good journey over after an early rugby match watched. Viv did Victoria proud, a delightful afternoon tea with games, laughter and love. Hopefully we will know when, what etc and that all goes well Sunday was catch up although very little was achieved. MondayContinue reading “Three quarters of 2019”
Term 7 week 4
A Level results this week, which were pleasing and great to share in the students’ successes, and also a week full of the emotional rollercoaster. I’ve caught up with friends, family, visited Kew again, completed routine tasks, dealt with contractors, looked at LG staff to begin pay assimilation, cooked, cleaned and made cards in equalContinue reading “Term 7 week 4”
Term 7 Week 2
Another full week with jobs crossed of a list that keeps getting added to! Last Saturday we visited Kevin’s Nan as she celebrated her 98th birthday. The youngest family member was there too, and good to catch up. When we got home Georgina had cut back the ivy that has been covering the wall nearContinue reading “Term 7 Week 2”
Christmas preparation
December has just shown up and I couldn’t be less prepared in some ways. I’ve met up with a few friends and enjoyed some great food and chat! I’ve made cards, and posted most of them; I’ve bought crackers; I’ve ordered ham and a capon; I’ve even got a Tesco slot for 22nd booked. YesterdayContinue reading “Christmas preparation”
Trick or treat
What a week, full of treats certainly, but fortunately no tricks! I’ve made a conscious effort to switch off from work, and with only two mornings in I’ve succeeded. Kevin and I enjoyed afternoon tea, bought a new car, I’ve made cards, baubles and been to the cinema. The house has been cleaned, the gardenContinue reading “Trick or treat”
Weekend delights
This weekend I’ve been staying near Brands Hatch for a craft weekend. A room full of a couple of family members and over 20 new acquaintances/ friends. Tables heaving with cards, embellishments and an array of made goodies. The challenge began with following sheets to replicate those and maybe deviate. Our rooms were ready soContinue reading “Weekend delights”
