Well, it was a good Friday on Good Friday. You can just tell it’s going to be a good day when your littlest terror doesn’t wake up until just after 8am!!! The unbridled joy shown by my wife at this unexpected turn of events was probably only previously matched when I once surprised her withContinue reading “DAY 24 – 10 April 2020”

Well it’s been quite a day! I woke up feeling very relaxed and refreshed and raring to go. To my surprise the kids and Steph slept in so it was just me by myself pottering about and getting all my jobs done. Once everyone was up, washed and dressed we all jumped in the carContinue reading “DAY 23 – 9 April 2020”

Well another evening already and I’m delighted to report it has been another excellent day in Casa Low! That sun has continued to shine brightly, the birds have continued to sing loudly and M’s nappies continue to be just about bearable.After last night’s post I had to promise my wife that I wouldn’t use herContinue reading “DAY 22 – 8 April 2020”

Well, what a difference a good nights sleep makes! Suddenly Monday becomes Tuesday and the weather seems a little brighter, the birdsong seems a little sweeter and the dirty nappies seem a little less pungent! I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and energised and invincible. M got up at 7am and E just afterContinue reading “DAY 21 – 7 April 2020”

I can basically sum up today with a single GIF! No schooling, no patience and more cracks here than when making omelettes! Even writing in my diary feels like a step too far. I’m therefore going straight to the 5 lows of the day: 1. 4am starts. He’s not big and he’s not funny yetContinue reading “DAY 20 – 6 April 2020”

🎵 Easy like Sunday morning! 🎵 Some decent weather and (unless you want to be a prat and go sunbathing in a park) nowhere to go. I managed to get out first thing for a little run and then back in time for the list of gardening tasks set by my wife before a cheeky little BBQ. WithContinue reading “DAY 19 – 5 April 2020”

Saturday night eh? Not sure how we got here. First day of E’s Easter holidays and a very wise woman told me this morning that it should make this lockdown easier as there’s no expectation of #HomeSchooling for 2 weeks. Only problem with that is that normally we would be able to go somewhere with the monsters,Continue reading “DAY 18 – 4 April 2020”

Everything is back to front these days. Normally going to the shops or taking the bin in are tedious chores – now they are weekly highlights. Normally Friday night is when we kick back, relax and have a drink – now we’ve drunk the house dry over the last 4 nights so we’re left tearingContinue reading “DAY 17 – 3 April 2020”

Well not really sure what happened as I’m pretty sure I’ve just finished writing Day 15. Today has disappeared in a flash and I’m not sure how. I can’t help wondering if we’re all in some kind of time wormhole meaning when we come out the other side of this we could be back inContinue reading “DAY 16 – 2 April 2020”

Cracks and strain everywhere. A 3.45am start this morning (thanks M!) did not set us up well today and we’ve had two tired children all day and a very cranky Daddy. This evening was basically tantrum after tantrum, extreme mood swings and constant niggling with repeated demands for food and drink and a refusal toContinue reading “DAY 15 – 1 April 2020”
