- Waking up after a very long sleep. I think I went to bed at 8.30pm on Friday. I’m feeling even more tired than usual at the moment.
- Heading downstairs for a cup of tea.
- Savouring the peace and quiet while everyone else was still in bed.
- Curling up beneath a blanket on the sofa with Jesse.
- Watching Cars until it was time for breakfast.
- Frying eggs for the children.
- Eating a toasted bagel topped with marmite.
- Finishing the yarden’s mini-makeover. We managed to stain the decking during the week, so all I needed to do was find our outdoor cushions in the attic and put the furniture back where it should be. I can’t wait to spend more time outside in the coming weeks.
- Distracting myself with DIY. I finished priming all the woodwork in the laundry room, so it’s almost ready for its first coat of paint.
- Listening to the children play board games with Carl.
- Eating leftover pizza for lunch.
- Taking a long, hot shower. The kind where you use all your favourite lotions and potions to buff and polish yourself from head to toe.
- Applying copious amounts of my current favourite body cream.
- Pulling on clean PJs.
- Blow drying my hair.
- Watching cartoons with the kids.
- Sipping gin and listening to 90s R&B in the kitchen.
- Cooking and eating butternut squash risotto {I tend to wing it, but this recipe looks similar to my version}.
- Needing another early night.
- Waking up when I heard Jesse making his way downstairs.
- Tidying the kitchen and making tea while he played on the Xbox.
- Chatting to my mum in Dorset and my sister in Australia via Zoom.
- Eating smashed avocado on toast for breakfast.
- Attempting to record a podcast episode with Charlie. Unfortunately, technology wasn’t on our side, but we’ll keep trying.
- Wishing we could meet in person.
- Having a natter over the phone instead.
- Fixing lunch for the children.
- Settling down on the sofa to watch Disney’s live action version of Lady and the Tramp. We loved it.
- Doing two loads of laundry. I guess some things remain constant during a global pandemic.
- Avoiding the news and trying not to worry.
- Tapping away at my laptop.
- Feeling peckish.
- Wondering what to make for dinner.
- Looking forward to a bubble bath and a face mask later this evening.
