Boom! Day done and a Wednesday to boot. Sometimes I don’t know what the fuss is all about. We’ve started to feel like things are returning to normal a little even if we are still #RemoteWorking and not really leaving the house much. I’ve said before that I rely on the kids on these weekdays to provide someContinue reading “DAY 134 – 29 July 2020”

Well, another week is finally over and boy was that a slog! I’m really looking forward to the weekend and some time away from the computer. Oh wait. What do you mean it’s not Friday? I’ve definitely done 5 days of work this week, haven’t I? Tuesday? Not even half way?!? No you’re having aContinue reading “DAY 133 – 28 July 2020”

A wet and windy Monday to kick off the last week in July. How quintessentially British! I suppose at least our new plants have been well watered in now. It also felt very much like a return to our old routine as the kids were dropped off at Grandma Dawn’s and we both headed into theContinue reading “DAY 132 – 27 July 2020”

Today started with a bit of deja vu as M joined us just after 1am. I think my wife took the brunt of it as I just woke up with morning to find him sleeping across my feet, like a badly behaved dog who insists on climbing on the bed!Today also saw the big farewellContinue reading “DAY 131 – 26 July 2020”

So, half way through yet another weekend and boy did we pack in a bit today. I blame Grandma, as we didn’t want to waste the one full day we had with her. Perhaps that should be me thanking her!It will surprise no one that M decided that a 1am wake up call was inContinue reading “DAY 130 – 25 July 2020”

And so we are reunited. What a wonderful, glorious, joyous day! Sometimes you don’t quite know how much you miss something until you get it back. Whilst Steph and I are overjoyed to have our first born home, even our excitement was overtaken by M who is just absolutely over the moon! It melts ourContinue reading “DAY 129 – 24 July 2020”

A day tinged with sadness as it’s E’s last day with Grandma. She has clearly had an absolute whale of a time, and when combined with our brilliant week last week, I’d imagine returning home tomorrow will be a complete bore!My weekday posts are getting pretty repetitive I fear as they continue to be dominatedContinue reading “DAY 128 – 23 July 2020”

Another hump day clambered over and we are heading down the other side! Also our 3rd full day without princess E and strangely M appears to be over it completely! He has moved from his lost puppy phase to being completely overjoyed with life and was just a very happy boy all day. Don’t tellContinue reading “DAY 127 – 22 July 2020”

It may by our 126th day since this all started for my family, but I’m definitely thinking it’s been one of the hardest as the reality of E’s absence really hit home. M has been like a lost dog all day and clearly is missing his best friend. We would never want to admit itContinue reading “DAY 126 – 21 July 2020”

So today saw my return to work, having recharged my batteries over the last 10 days. I’m not sure how much juice was left in the batteries after all the running and cycling last week but it did get me through the day. My worry was that without E life at home would just be incrediblyContinue reading “DAY 125 – 20 July 2020”
