Guess who’s back? Back again… After only 2 nights, Grandma decided that she missed us just too much and has arrived to spend another long weekend in the bosom of her grandkids.Before she arrived Steph and I were hard at work trying to finish the working week (and indeed working month) on a high. AContinue reading “DAY 164 – 28 August 2020”

It felt like a really long day yesterday but today was even worse! Bucketing rain and I didn’t leave the house until late this evening (more on that to come…) I was determined to go for a run today but for one reason or another it never happened. Not only does that leave me playingContinue reading “DAY 163 – 27 August 2020”

Today was a sad day as we waved goodbye to Grandma after her 6 night visit. It has been lovely having her to stay and some excellent progress has been made on the garden development. But au revoirs are always tough and after the tears had been wiped away I had to get ready forContinue reading “DAY 162 – 26 August 2020”

Happy Birthday Grandma! What a wonderful day to mark the occasion even if the rain didn’t let up for a moment! A day marked by Champagne, Prosecco and cake, just as any good birthday should be. Whilst she would say that she was lucky to spend her special day with two of her grandkids, I thinkContinue reading “DAY 161 – 25 August 2020”

Nothing beats the buzz of a Monday morning. Everyone jumping out of bed ready to seize the day and achieve their short term goals. Reenergised from the weekend and feeling invincible with a “can do” attitude. Who am I kidding?!? Mondays rank a very comfortable 7th in the league table of daily mornings and theContinue reading “DAY 160 – 24 August 2020”

Today felt like a bit of a carbon copy of yesterday. Starting with an early wake up call, dodging rain showers all day and finishing with another instalment of Hamilton (we might get it finished tomorrow night!) To be fair M did let me sleep in an extra 12 minutes this morning, so he presumablyContinue reading “DAY 159 – 23 August 2020”

Life is all about balance and so after a pretty active and busy day yesterday, today was somewhat gentler. It might however just be my old age catching up with me!Dodging rain showers appears to be the theme of Grandma’s visit and looking at the forecast that will continue for the next few days. TheContinue reading “DAY 158 – 22 August 2020”

I am exhausted! I mean properly wiped out. To be fair the whole house is and I assume that is why everyone went to bed at 9pm. I would quite happily have joined them but I had a diary entry to write! It is a proper wild Friday night here…I had a day booked offContinue reading “DAY 157 – 21 August 2020”

A lot of excitement in Casa del Low today as after Grandpa’s short visit yesterday, Grandma was on her way to visit. Now we didn’t tell the children as we knew they would be far too hyper and instead just told E that if she was well behaved there would be a surprise for her.NowContinue reading “DAY 156 – 20 August 2020”

Hump day began with glorious sunshine and finished with miserable rain. It’s been a really busy one which once again began at 3am when E decided for the first time in her life that she was scared of the dark. I know I should have just marched her back to her bed but I wasContinue reading “DAY 155 – 19 August 2020”
