So another Restday in my new calendar and boy did I take advantage! I think it was the most laid back day since lockdown began – not that it was planned, it’s just the way we ended up rolling. It didn’t stop the little horrors being up before 6am but they paid for it tonightContinue reading “DAY 44 – 30 April 2020”

So according to my new calendar, today was a Runday. A nice 3am wake up call from E who thought she’d be more comfortable in our bed, followed by M wide awake at 5.30am. Why not start the day like this? I made a schoolboy error on my 8.5 mile run, deciding to go aContinue reading “DAY 43 – 29 April 2020”

Apparently it’s Tuesday. With each week that passes my ability to remember what day it is becomes weaker. For the next month I think there will only be 2 days – run days and rest days. That might be easier for me to remember. So today was a rest day so what did we decideContinue reading “DAY 42 – 28 April 2020”

Not really sure what happened today. Genuinely it has been a complete blur. I’m trying to sit down this evening and write my diary but struggling to fill in the blanks of what we actually did. Perhaps this is the lockdown effect where big chunks of time just disappear so maybe it’s just a sideContinue reading “DAY 41 – 27 April 2020”

So the first night in his new big boy bed was a huge success for M. In fact he enjoyed it so much that when he went for his afternoon nap we managed to carry him up and put him in the bed rather than his pushchair and he slept for nearly 2 1/2 hours!!Continue reading “DAY 40 – 26 April 2020”

So apparently my kids didn’t get the memo telling them that our themed days only last 24 hours and certainly don’t run into the weekends. As a result of this miscommunication they decided that their naughtiness from yesterday should continue this morning. Daddy was not a happy bunny – more below. But let us not forgetContinue reading “DAY 39 – 25 April 2020”

So a beautiful day in lockdown is at a close. Definitely a better day than yesterday but challenging nevertheless. To be honest I’m not sure if it was as sunny inside our house as it was outside. We started with the best of intentions after a fairly late wake up (by our standards) and was allContinue reading “DAY 38 – 24 April 2020”

I suppose you can’t get this far into lockdown without having some highs and lows. For no apparent reason today was a low in Casa Low. I suspect it was my fault as I rolled all the way over this morning and got out of the wrong side of the bed. It was definitely downhillContinue reading “DAY 37 – 23 April 2020”

It was always going to happen at some point, but I’ve hit a bit of writer’s block this evening. Many will be surprised it’s taken over 5 weeks to reach this stage! It’s not an artistic issue to be fair, it’s more to do with the fact that I was manning the office so forContinue reading “DAY 36 – 22 April 2020”

Well, all things considered today has been a good day in lockdown. I snuck out early doors and ran 7k before the kiddies woke up and that did really set me up. Another sunny day, fun with the kids and productive from a work perspective. I wouldn’t mind having few more days like this!I alsoContinue reading “DAY 35 – 21 April 2020”
