Mondays? Nobody likes them anyway! Sadly a bit of a write off of a day in the Low household but I suppose it is good to get it out of the way at the start of the week. I’m confident tomorrow will be a better day. I was in the office again today and whilst thatContinue reading “DAY 104 – 29 June 2020”

Intermittent heavy showers? Why not for the last Sunday in June. Perfect weather for the start of a new running challenge (more below). After last night’s post, imagine my surprise when I was dispatched to the shop this morning to buy some medicine for Steph. By medicine I do, of course, mean wine. Lots of wine.Continue reading “DAY 103 – 28 June 2020”

Well the storm clouds gathered and the heavens opened this morning. Fortunately Steph’s mood improved as the day progressed and we were safe to venture out of our rooms by lunchtime. I am, of course, joking and it was another day in paradise where the kids kept us entertained rather than it being the other wayContinue reading “DAY 102 – 27 June 2020”

Thank you all so much for your very nice comments and messages. It’s lovely to know the mundane goings on in the Low household manage to entertain so many people!Like a lot of people we spent today waiting for the thunderstorms and were sorely disappointed. Well actually I was, but Steph was quite relieved asContinue reading “DAY 101 – 26 June 2020”

And so here we are. Well done to us all! 100 not out! A century of daily diary posts. Just waiting for my telegram from the Queen now.I dread to imagine how many hours this has taken in total if I added it all up but that really isn’t the point – hopefully it bringsContinue reading “DAY 100 – 25 June 2020”

Roasting! It might be the 99th day but we needed 99s to try and cool us down. I must be old as I can remember when 99s actually cost 99p!I keep thinking that when it’s really hot, at least I’m not stuck in the office but I realised today that it’s actually worse working fromContinue reading “DAY 99 – 24 June 2020”

14 weeks! 14 weeks?!?!?! It’s a scary amount of time which has now passed since I first packed up and headed home to start my #RemoteWorking. I swear the kids have both doubled in height during the intervening period and certainly have grown in other ways too. We dance every day, we make sure we laughContinue reading “DAY 98 – 23 June 2020”

Well we all bounced out of bed this morning ready to make the most of a new day and indeed a whole new week. I had work, E had #HomeSchooling, Steph had childcare and M had trouble, trouble and a bit more trouble to find. The lesson planning for E appears to be slipping a bit nowContinue reading “DAY 97 – 22 June 2020”

And there we have it. Father’s Day – one of my favourite days of the year. Why wouldn’t it be, when it is all about me?!!I was promised that I could choose what we did all day so that guaranteed a brilliant day full of manly things. Or perhaps not. But I’m blessed to haveContinue reading “DAY 96 – 21 June 2020”

I am delighted (and a little relieved) to confirm that the Low family bounced back with a bang today, guaranteeing a positive end to a tough week. The prospect of a long lie during lockdown remains somewhere between faint and non existent so even an early morning wake up call didn’t weaken our resolve. I’ll confessContinue reading “DAY 95 – 20 June 2020”
