I didn’t post yesterday as despite the wonderful sunshine on Sunday, I had an overwhelming low day. Not totally sure why, maybe a bit stir crazy, maybe it’s all part of a process, part of realignment of how life and how we live, will be changed for now and the future, or even the realisationContinue reading “LD 14”

LD 12
Day 3 in bed and it’s getting very boring. I’ve had lots of lovely food, drink has been supplied regularly and a treat too. Untold episodes of SUITS watched but not past series 3 yet! A parcel arrived and it was such a sweet thought from an amazing person who has her own concerns andContinue reading “LD 12”
LD 11
Still in bed tired and achy, cough not too bad but rest seems to be what I should be doing, although it is boring, but I’m aware that I am lucky. The Easter break has started and it made me think back to last year and the upcoming trip to Majorca, and remembered how luckyContinue reading “LD 11”
LD 10
An early start to get this budget done. After a frustrating few hours, spreadsheets to complete in quadruplet, I finally press the button: financial year end closure, Ta daaa! Every year is the same, and because it’s something that’s done only once a year, you forget all the nuances, checks and balances that you haveContinue reading “LD 10”
LD 7
The clocks went forward on Saturday which means an hour less to fill! A walk to get supplies with hubby, feeling much colder and windy. Returning hone it wasn’t long until we had hailstones, sunshine, more hailstones, then more sunshine. We filled the afternoon with clearing, as much as we could in the old diningContinue reading “LD 7”
LD 6
Yesterday my husband and I were due to attend his club’s annual dinner on HMS Belfast, but due to CV it was postponed. An email was sent through on Friday that if possible still dress up and take photos! What a lovely idea! I had booked afternoon tea to be delivered earlier in the weekContinue reading “LD 6”
LD 5
Yesterday meant my first journey in the car since Monday to actually go to work! I did wonder if I would be stopped at any point and had my letter ready if I was challenged. Whilst no students arrived it was a very busy morning in school with staff, emails, phone calls to deal with.Continue reading “LD 5”
LD day 3
Last night I was a part of a conference call for a governing body meeting. A bit different and the way forward? I hope not……..in my opinion. We have a chocolate cake to devour, to choose our dining experience for this evening and a smattering of routine chores, whilst checking emails, messages re work andContinue reading “LD day 3”
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”
January blues…..
Apparently Monday was the worst day of the year, but in an effort to be positive I ignored that and will concentrate on what is good – and there’s plenty! A busy two weeks with a goodbye to a loved one, and news of another extension to the family! We celebrated Kevin’s Nan’s life andContinue reading “January blues…..”
Progress report
Another full week has seen ups and downs but excitement too. We met Oliver and what an adorable wee man he is. Proud great auntie and uncle moment! Georgina walked up Snowdon and loved it; so glad to see her challenging herself. Work has been manic with meetings after school and challenges that really haveContinue reading “Progress report”
More Rugby, meetings and a new arrival….
A bit later this week for my blog, but as I have a few minutes before making dinner, so hope I can fit everything in! Firstly the joyous news that Victoria and Andy we’re safely delivered of their son Oliver Arthur. Welcome little man, you will be loved and cherished I know for sure. AfterContinue reading “More Rugby, meetings and a new arrival….”
Mountains out of mole hills
What a week! Sunday saw us visit a new build property, just to gain a few ideas, but this has given me further cause to see this as a viable opportunity Monday was one of two work days this week. I had been looking to go away, but couldn’t get myself together at all toContinue reading “Mountains out of mole hills”
