The Mock Turtle

I repeat: Thursday.

Sooooo. Another day

I'll WFH/supervise W. Walk later. Must draw up a shopping list.

Um. Yeah. That's it.

Hello smal!

I have totally lost track of the days despite working this week and having daily project deliveries.

Today I have to go and buy food and drink for two elderly friends. I'm wondering if I should get them to write me a note, in case people ask why I'm buying so much stuff. I foresee judgemental stares and tutting.

Good morning. It is so sunny again.

I expect today will be much like any other day, Pinky. WE’LL TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

Failing that, we will go for a decent walk, I will try to distract an increasingly bored three year old all day and poor Maggie is having a bath but doesn’t know it yet.

Yay for Thursday. I was going to visit a shop today but Mr Speedy has woken up with a persistent cough. So now I'm on even more of a lockdown. Feeling fine so far.

morning! This title is useful as I genuinely had to think what day it was this morning.

Today holds home schooling, we’re going to try and do some gardening for fresh air and to make the most of the weather. I’m also going to go for a walk today on my own so I can ramp up the pace (I took S yesterday which was lovely but not really excercise more meandering) then I’ll swap with mr so he can go in the gym (he’s converted his shed, he’s not going to an actual gym)

I think this is going to get harder when the weather gets colder again at the weekend, I might investigate if I have enough in the cupboard to do some baking with S then.

One day closer to the weekend As things are so different then!

I'm just drying my hair just now, in an attempt to look half presentable. I have my team daily call,then a webinar about managing while working remotely. And then a one to one - over the phone obvs.

I felt more upbeat yesterday but today I'm back to feeling all DOOM!

I know Sal! Fridays going to be a bit of an anti climax isn’t it?! I normally love fridays.

Morning! A gym shed is pretty cool.

I should be half way to Lanzarote now. :(

However, I'm going to do an online yoga class this morning with an instructor from my work gym I really like so that's something I guess.

Morning.

The birds were stamping so loudly on the roof at 6.30 that I genuinely thought there was a builder up there .

I started work at 7, but I’ll have to go have a shower in a minute to look presentable for a web conference. I am finding it so hard to stay motivated for work at the moment, despite being very busy.

I’ll make some pizza later, in an attempt to encourage the kids to eat hidden vegetables.

Morning. For today’s to do list please see Mon-Wed.

I am going for a run later. I will also be dropping off some sunflower seeds (growing competition) on a noticeboard for a couple of other people to collect without actual human interaction.

I really need these thread titles, I just said to Zirk that I didn't know what day it was.

Morning. It's another beautiful day. I'm going to get my washing done. The work VPN is still only available for people doing vital work which isn't me so workwise a couple of conference calls is all I have.

I need to get up but me and Storm are having a lovely cuddle. He keeps gently patting my face.

Morning! It is getting very difficult to keep track of what day it is. It's a beautiful day here again; I'm going to try to get some proper work done and help D with some school stuff. We're going to search the garage late for seed trays and hopefully seeds; there's also a pile of book in there for the charity shop that I need to list as my neighbour is going to start up a book exchange in her front garden.

It's lovely that Storm is patting your face, Turtle – my cat woke me up this morning by lying across my pillow and sticking his claws into my hair as his biscuit bowl was empty.

I'm jealous of the nice weather, its grey and murky here

HELLO! GOOD MORNING!

The weekend is still something to look forward to for me. I can log off work and do stuff with the girls that P doesn't have the skills or inclination to do. I've just booked next Friday off work so I get a run of 3 x 4 day weeks.

One of the Y4 school mums FB messaged me yesterday to ask if she could help as she'd walked the dog past our house and seen my warning poster to delivery people about our self-isolation. We're lucky that we don't need the help, but I thought that was dead nice of her. Especially as our last FB messaging had been Christmas 2018 when she was moaning about her daughter still believing in FC and my daughter allegedly shattering that illusion.

It's rubbish, isn't it. I"ve had to find a lamp for my 'desk'.

I am also glad of the day reminder, I am totally losing track.

Hello, lovely chums.

I've been waking up abut midnight then being awake for hours before going back to sleep. I'm a bit all over the place now because of that. I'm working, but contemplating breakfast. I'm also squeezed in to leisure trousers that were a loose fit this time last year.

Later I might do another workout. Yesterday I did the 15 min Fitness Blender one and mowed my lawn. Today I have terrible doms!

Morning! Today holds trying to keep a toddler entertained and away from E while he works. I'm also waiting to hear if I've been shortlisted for a job.

It's a bit dull here now but the sun is trying to come out so we will definitely hang out in the garden later.

I have done the same for next Friday

I'm really trying to make the weekends still feel nice (mainly through: not working, and eating and drinking). WHen I was on maternity leave what I missed the most was a real sense of a weekend.

Saturday and Sunday are going to be GLORIOUS with no school work to do!
