It’s been a month since writing last and it’s been eventful. My parents have been down to Brighton and returned to Scotland. We briefly saw them, which was lovely. We enjoyed great food as always. I’ve been creative and even made my first crochet item. It’s made with love and can keep our grandson warmContinue reading “Here we go again….”

LD 74
Another fortnight has passed by full of food, cleaning, work and so much more unfolding on the world stage……. Two weeks ago was half term , but it didn’t feel like it. So much to prepare for and do. Last week there were zoom meetings, teams meetings and even face to face meetings! Preparing forContinue reading “LD 74”
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”

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”

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”

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”

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”
It’s life, but not as we know it….
These last few weeks have been extraordinary. The daily challenges faced, the communication updates and the stark reality now of changes that may become more of the norm – I hope not though. With schools now ‘closed’, but still open for certain students, structure will need to be maintained. As we approach the end ofContinue reading “It’s life, but not as we know it….”
Advent week 3 ……..and sad news
Last Sunday was spent trying to prepare for Christmas visitations, but proved challenging. The week ahead was due to be busy both work and personally. Tuesday brought the saddest news of Kevin’s Nan’s passing, after a year and a day at the Sunrise nursing home. At 98 she has been a major part of Kevin’sContinue reading “Advent week 3 ……..and sad news”
💔💔 Heartbroken💔💔
In September Reggie came into our lives, from the very outset, a lively kitten who was loved and loved unconditionally. He had so many little quirks: he would always try to put any food that fell out of his bowl back in, would lick the tip of your nose, even place his paw on yourContinue reading “💔💔 Heartbroken💔💔”
Four weeks and counting!
So I’ve been back at work, or at least joined by others, for four weeks! One month done and now the build up to Bishop Alan’s visit to bless the sixth form block. Lots of preparation is afoot, with practices, plaques, and floral arrangements arranged. It really will be a holy and joyful occasion! MoreContinue reading “Four weeks and counting!”
