isolation – Page 2 – My little life

LD 33

A busy rest of the week with two trips to work, decisions to be made and ensuring that everything just seamlessly carries on in readiness for students and staff return. My role in school is definitely a solitary one and the anxiety of missing something is profoundly felt, but I can only do what IContinue reading “LD 33”

LD 29 and remembering a special someone

Today marks thirty years since my father in law, John, died. I can’t believe that so much time has passed. It’s such a shame that we are social distancing, but a hug is in order, with so many memories of the relatively short time I knew John. He had a real love for life, perhapsContinue reading “LD 29 and remembering a special someone”

LD 25 and so it continues

Yesterday the lockdown has been extended for at least another three weeks. I’m not surprised and what is surprising is how relatively quickly the last 3 1/2 weeks have gone. The measures appear to be working so let’s hope that continues. There are worrying sound bites of social distancing continuing beyond this year and ramificationsContinue reading “LD 25 and so it continues”

LD 20 Easter 2020

A few days have passed since my last blog with sunny days enjoyed in the garden. We’ve enjoyed some great food, with popcorn chicken and beef stroganoff two of the faves. I tidied a couple of drawers and did the whole Marie Kondo thing: feel if there’s joy in an item, so a few piecesContinue reading “LD 20 Easter 2020”

LD 16

Another beautiful day, which is helping with this situation. A made floury rolls and sausage patties, poached eggs and ta da-fakeaway sausage and egg ‘muffins’ for breakfast. After this I had a fairly chilled afternoon and did some menu planning for the week. A shopping list was put together and items purchased. So looking forwardContinue reading “LD 16”

LD 15

Yesterday I was meant to be going to Australia, but instead I went as far as the sanctuary of my garden. Before retreating there I made flapjacks, and focaccia bread for dinner – a first for me. I tried to pace myself to do as much as possibly to tidy up, without exerting myself tooContinue reading “LD 15”

LD 14

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 10

After feeling so tired and achy on Wednesday night, I woke up on Thursday with a different cough to normal, so I am now in complete isolation from everyone else. I spoke with Andrew and Lis in Australia, and they are fine. I spoke with my Mum after she said she had symptoms. My photosContinue reading “LD 10”
