Another day and another series of interrupted work calls. Clients and professional contacts seem to be very understanding of the situation yet in all the calls I have had over the last 34 days, I haven’t heard a single child talking in the background let alone any screaming or bouncing on the bed/couch/person whilst beingContinue reading “DAY 34 – 20 April 2020”

Well, we have successfully reached the end of the Easter “holidays” and the Lows are gearing up for a return to #HomeSchooling tomorrow. I expect you are all on tenterhooks to find out what words have been selected for this week (J, K, L, M and N) but you’ll just have to wait until tomorrow to findContinue reading “DAY 33 – 19 April 2020”

How are we possibly into another weekend already? I know some people are struggling with boredom during lockdown and the days are dragging but that certainly isn’t the case here. Time seems to be flying and perhaps that is because we never stop with our little ones. I guess if we didn’t have them, theContinue reading “DAY 32 – 18 April 2020”

A Friday is still a Friday even under lockdown. And we went from an uneventful day yesterday so a pretty eventful day today. I’m desperately clinging onto some form of normality and trying to keep a routine so Friday is normally cheeky drink night and treat night. The only problem is for the last 29Continue reading “DAY 31 – 17 April 2020”

The days are beginning to blur into each other and the only thing that seems to be a constant is me writing this every evening. I’m not convinced 24 hours has actually passed since my last instalment but one thing is for sure – I’m not one of those people who is bored…yet! The kidsContinue reading “DAY 30 – 16 April 2020”

Sleep deprivation has hit hard today. E up first at 11.30pm (though we think she might have been sleepwalking) and then M in at 3.25am. Now as parents of relatively small children these things do happen but during lockdown there is no escape and certainly no opportunity to get into the office to have aContinue reading “DAY 29 – 15 April 2020”

So we have made it to the end of the 4th week. In some ways this is a massive achievement but in others it has been a doddle. The silver lining in all of this is the time I’m getting with the kids which is certainly more than pre-lockdown. It’s not all necessarily quality timeContinue reading “DAY 28 – 14 April 2020”

The start of another week in lockdown and apparently it’s another Bank Holiday- who knew? I failed miserably to stay off the computer today and actually got a ton of work done given that very few people were on so very limited incoming emails and no phone calls. I can tell already it’s going toContinue reading “DAY 27 – 13 April 2020”

Happy Easter to you all, my loyal readers! I hope you had a suitably exciting day full of family time and chocolate consumption and, if you celebrate the true meaning of this holiday, the live mass from the Vatican which was eerily empty.The Low household got off to an inauspicious start with a pyjama cladContinue reading “DAY 26 – 12 April 2020”

Thank you so much for all the lovely messages I have received about my Diary. It really did start with me just being my usual silly self and trying to spread a bit of happiness at a difficult time. Also, to settle a debate, nothing in my Diary is made up – it only containsContinue reading “DAY 25 – 11 April 2020”
