The third day of a long weekend is always a strange one as it technically feels like the extra day but in my experience rarely is productive. Bank holidays in lockdown is no different and for the third consecutive day I had grand plans in the morning but actually achieved relatively little. Of course theContinue reading “DAY 54 – 10 May 2020”

I feel like this weekend is turning into a pretty lazy one despite waking up with lots of plans and the best of intentions. The kids have definitely sussed out the difference between work days and non-work days and sadly know they can work their ticket a bit more when there’s two of us involved.MyContinue reading “DAY 53 – 9 May 2020”

Well that was a pretty good Bank Holiday Friday. Glorious weather and lots of fun with the family. It’s amazing how much easier lockdown is when you take work out of the equation. Please note I said “easier” and not “easy”!This morning was all about getting some jobs done around the house and this afternoonContinue reading “DAY 52 – 8 May 2020”

So I guess it is the weekend already – 4 days weeks are definitely the way forward and the weirdness of a Friday Bank Holiday continues to confuse me and hopefully a few other people. I have tried very hard today to stay in a positive frame of mind and not lose my rag withContinue reading “DAY 51 – 7 May 2020”

I cannot believe this is the 50th consecutive diary entry I have written. Where has the time gone? Bringing up a half century in lockdown was certainly not what I expected when I started this diary all those weeks ago.Today we reached V in our #HomeSchooling and it just had to be VE Day. She’s coloured inContinue reading “DAY 50 – 6 May 2020”

Another day of mashing together #HomeSchooling and #RemoteWorking. I’ve been thinking today how hard it is going to be for the kids to return to their “usual” routine once this is all over. I mean, Mammy and Daddy are counting down the seconds and can’t wait to get back into the office but the little cherubs have beenContinue reading “DAY 49 – 5 May 2020”

Unbelievable that we’re onto yet another Monday and I do think every Monday gets a little harder to get through. I was reminded early on that it’s a 4 day week so that gave everything a silver lining. #HomeSchooling was back with a bang as we tried to teach E all about Time! Steph definitely did aContinue reading “DAY 48 – 4 May 2020”

A Sunday and a Runday – what more could a man want during lockdown? Well, that isn’t a rhetorical question as I have a few answers. Not being completely exhausted for a start. In fact the whole family was exhausted today – maybe all the excitement of lockdown is catching up with us.There is alsoContinue reading “DAY 47 – 3 May 2020”

What a wonderful day. Now I haven’t said that very often during lockdown, but credit where it’s due. The kids slept *relatively* well and things have been pretty laid back. Daily exercise was done, Steph picked up the essential shopping, kids were kept entertained, I hosted one online quiz and played another. Not trying to juggleContinue reading “DAY 46 – 2 May 2020”

We definitely have the Friday feeling here in the Low household and are very much looking forward to the weekend, mainly so the impossible shift working can be put on hold for 2 days. I hope all my readers are in a similar position and can try and do something a little different over theContinue reading “DAY 45 – 1 May 2020”
