This week has flown by! I have been manic at work, and we have been busy in the garden.
Guy has been busy making room in the garage by selling some bikes, and joss has been, er, helping! (Anyone in the market for a rather pimpy orange spangly retro Klein??)
Altogether less stressful than last week. We threw a zoom birthday party for a friend which was fun, and seem to be spending more time just loafing around rather than rushing around. It’s all rather nice.
The gravel FINALLY arrived for my little seating area, and I have used it every day. I’m rather proud of it!
I have been enjoying having longer lunch breaks. I have NOT been missing the 05:30am starts. But, I have been missing working in London. I love the hectic nature, how full of people it is. Gives me a kind of energy boost. I adore my commute (I know, I’m a bit weird…). I often sit with a friend on the way in and we have a chat and a giggle, then on the way back I watch trash tele or listen to a podcast. It’s two hours a day that are 100% mine. Then when I get home I have already wound down and I can give Guy and Joss all my energy. The 20 second walk from my shoffice at the bottom of the garden isn’t quite the same…. I find myself sitting in a bit of a dazed state for half an hour while Joss jumps all over me and Guy tries to engage me in some level of adult conversation! I have no doubt that a glass of wine would speed up this process… Instead, I have been cooking, we have all been eating together, and having amazing quality time together that we don’t normally have.
I have no idea what normal will look like when lockdown starts lifting more, and Guy goes back to work. But, for the moment, it’s all good!
