Downstairs to feed everyone
Sorting video clips from Thursday to post on IG
Posting Thursday’s blog
Starting home learning with a Body Coach workout – we did a 5 minute warm up then a 15 minute workout
Hubby took the doggo out while we were exercising
Had a go at the Friday Maths Challenge on BBC Bitesize – the final 2 questions required all family members working together!
Kiddo declared himself having an off-day early on and it was a struggle to get him to focus – glad that the weekend is close now
After some work ran a bath for the kiddo with some Epsom salts and little bath bombs
Wrote my morning pages at 12.15pm while the kiddo was in the bath
Sorted lunch

I printed out the ‘Coronavirus from a Kids Perspective‘ questionnaire and got the kiddo to complete it – this will go in the scrapbook album
Got on with chores – washing up and laundry while the kiddo carried on with school work
Got dressed in clothes that weren’t pyjamas or active wear and even put some make-up on!
Headed to the pharmacy on foot to pick up a prescription. Waited 20 minutes in a queue
I used the waiting time to start organising photos to be printed for my WITL scrapbook album
Popped to the little supermarket for milk that I couldn’t get at LIDLs and some marshmallows for a recipe we want to try
Husband headed off for a run when I got back
The doggo, the kiddo and I went for a walk to find the swans – we were not disappointed!
Watched, with a decent sized socially-distant crowd, as one baby swan was abandoned in the nest while the others swam away…
…and breathed a sigh of relief when the family were re-united
Home for dinner
Time for one of the favourite parts of our lockdown week – a music quiz with hubby’s running club via Zoom
Danced and sang our way through to a respectable score of 149 (no idea what that was out of!)
Let the dog out and off to bed

No. of steps – 9,079 – the quiz dancing definitely helps!

Bedtime – it was nearly 11pm but I couldn’t sleep so read until around midnight

It was good to make a start on organising the scrapbook element of this project today.
A lovely friend on Instagram reminded me that the Project Life app has a mosaic function to get multiple images on 6 x 4 prints.
I will make up mosaics for each day and then order the prints early next week.
Over the weekend I am hoping to get some of the stories in the paper album.

And that was a Week in the Life: Friday edition. On to the weekend…

I have completed previous Week in the Life and Day in the Life projects. You can see more posts like this here.
