- Sleeping in.
- Heading downstairs for a cup of tea.
- Finding Izzy already awake downstairs.
- Watching Moana on Disney+.
- Cooking and eating fried mushrooms and spinach on a toasted bagel.
- Pottering at home while Carl took Jesse to an empty field for a quick kickabout. As Jess is considered seriously high risk due to the severity of his asthma, going out very early in the morning seems to be the best way to avoid other people.
- Throwing open doors and windows and feeling very grateful for the warm weather.
- Finally getting some paint on the laundry room walls.
- Listening to the DIFTK Podcast while I worked.
- Making a quick stir-fry for lunch.
- Squeezing in a little more DIY.
- Curling up on the sofa to watch Ralph Wrecks the Internet.
- Snacking on sweets and cinnamon popcorn.
- Jumping in the shower.
- Pulling on clean PJs.
- Cooking and eating oven pizzas for dinner.
- Playing the Telegraph pub quiz with my parents via Zoom. It’s a bit of a Saturday evening tradition whenever we see them, so we turned it into virtual happy hour complete with drinks and nibbles.
- Saying goodnight to Jesse.
- Sitting down with Izzy to watch episode three of The Imagineering Story, a documentary about the history and creation of the various Walt Disney parks around the world.
- Savouring the peace and quiet once both kids were in bed.
- Sipping a G&T in front of Tiger King, a crazy Netflix documentary about big cat breeding and its bizarre underworld. It’s pretty wild, but I think the hilarious memes it has inspired are better than the show itself.
- Collapsing into bed with my Kindle. I’m reading If I Never Met You* by Mhairi McFarlane which is currently reduced to 99p.
- Dragging myself downstairs around 7.30am.
- Making tea and listening to Jesse play on the Xbox.
- Eating a marmite bagel while Carl took the kids out for some exercise.
- Chatting to my mum in Dorset and my sister in Australia via Zoom.
- Finally managing to record the next episode of Friends With Business Benefits. It’s not quite the same doing it over the phone, but it felt good to catch up with Charlie and get our conversation ‘on mic’.
- Eating leftovers for lunch.
- Relaxing in the yarden.
- Setting Izzy up with the laptop so she could watch Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat on Youtube.
- Applying another coat of paint in the laundry room.
- Praying it won’t need a third.
- Enjoying the sunshine.
- Drinking tea while working away at my laptop.
- Looking forward to our Ocado delivery arriving later this evening.
- Wondering what to cook for dinner in the meantime.
- Hoping the sunshine sticks around. It makes everything feel a little easier, don’t you think?
