I suppose the big news of the day is that I’m properly injured. My leg has gotten progressively worse since my run yesterday morning and now I can’t put very much weight on it. I’m absolutely gutted and as I write my diary I’m sat with a bag of frozen peas (well, mixed veg toContinue reading “DAY 64 – 20 May 2020”

And so life goes on. There is a definite correlation between the quality of the previous night’s sleep and the productivity of the day. Today is a case in point and all 4 of us seemed to be running on empty.One of the victims of this lack of energy was today’s #HomeSchooling theme much to myContinue reading “DAY 63 – 19 May 2020”

Yet again I’m struck with the Monday morning feeling of “How can it possibly be the start of yet another week?” Work continues to get busier (good), E gets more challenging (not so good) and M is simply impossible (standard!)We are still experimenting with our shift patterns at home as we strive for the rightContinue reading “DAY 62 – 18 May 2020”

I thought lockdown was meant to drag. As far as I’m concerned weekends continue to fly by and certainly weekdays are longer days! I know it’s a cliche but Sundays are meant to be lazy days and therefore all the jobs I didn’t get done yesterday will sadly have to wait another week as theyContinue reading “DAY 61 – 17 May 2020”

Well, how did that happen? 60 days of lockdown in the Low household – I suppose that makes this my diamond anniversary with my readers. That’s lovely and all but just don’t expect a gift! It also happens to be Eurovision day which is usually a particular highlight of my year. I’m very sad thereContinue reading “DAY 60 – 16 May 2020”

And there we have it. Another week of #RemoteWorking and #HomeSchooling is at an end and we have survived relatively unscathed – I think. Today it was my turn to man the office so it sadly meant an entire day away from the kids. I was so looking forward to it!! Peace and quiet for the first time inContinue reading “DAY 59 – 15 May 2020”

Restday, Thursday, Workday, Quizday… everything seems interchangeable these days. Looking back I had a pretty good day although it has felt incredibly long. I can feel tiredness begin to creep in earlier and earlier and perhaps my runs are catching up with me. Tomorrow is due to be a busy day as well so IContinue reading “DAY 58 – 14 May 2020”

Boy, today’s been a long day! Steph and I discussed last night how we haven’t used an alarm clock once during lockdown and sadly that’s not because we’re able to lie in every day. I feel very conflicted every morning as the emotions of pure joy at seeing my children first thing and anger atContinue reading “DAY 57 – 13 May 2020”

Another day and another Restday which I feel was well earned after yesterday’s run. Work is certainly keeping us on our toes especially as the shift patterns ramp up. We are both as bad as each other at turning up to the home office at the allotted time tapping our watches as the other runsContinue reading “DAY 56 – 12 May 2020”

The start of yet another week in lockdown. In some respects things are getting easier as we continue to get used to the “new normal” but in other respects the isolation is getting harder and harder. Missing family and friends and work colleagues in particular. But I keep reminding myself I have a lot ofContinue reading “DAY 55 – 11 May 2020”
