Welcome to a Week in the Life: Thursday edition. Today I am sharing photos and stories from yesterday.
You can see the rest of the week here:
Monday – Tuesday – Wednesday
Week in the Life: Thursday 14th May
Theme for the Day – Visiting Nanny!
Weather – Partly Cloudy – High of 12 – Low of 1
Wake up – 3am (kiddo had a nosebleed!) then a restless sleep until around 8am
Breakfast – Greek yoghurt, strawberries & pear (yay for fresh fruit!) and the last dollop of Tiptree Salted Caramel spread (whatever will I do tomorrow?!)
Lunch – A roll with ham, cheese and piccalily, cucumber sticks, tortilla chips and a piece of mars slice
Dinner – Lamb shank in mint gravy with kumara (sweet potato), carrot and brocolli
Snacks – Rice Cakes and a sneaky Twirl
What happened – Morning
- After writing my morning pages I updated my video clips from yesterday
- Then downstairs for brekkie and finishing Wednesday’s blog
- Started school work with Maths
- Tried a new Joe Wickes workout – the kiddo lasted for most of it and moved onto spellings while I finished
- Break time – we sorted out laundry – folding up dry stuff and hanging up the dogs blankets that had been washed
- I took the doggo out for a walk. We saw a dead rat and the swans were back at their nest today with 3 cygnets (yay! When we didn’t see them for a couple of days I was getting worried)
- Home to see how the kiddo had got on with online work then he looked up a Cookie Jar Alarm as electricity is a current topic
- I time-lapsed making lunch which was fun
What happened – Afternoon/Evening
- Hubby came downstairs for lunch. We chatted and I caught up on Formula 1 news (side note – we are both big fans and have missed not watching it this year. There’s been a lot of announcements of team/driver changes happening this week ready for 2021)
- Kiddo wrote up details of the Cookie Jar Alarm and did some reading while I grabbed a shower
- A neighbour knocked on the door about arranging to have the windows cleaned. Had a quick chat with her and then the prospective window cleaner (from a distance!)
- The kiddo and I headed out in the car. This was the first time the kiddo had been in the car since mid May!
- We went to my Mum’s. She’s currently isolating for 12 weeks so we made plans to visit on a decent day so we could chat to her from the garden
- Felt really emotional that this was the first time my son and mum had seen each other in person since early March!
- Headed home when the sun went in and it got chilly
- Worked on this blog post and then dinner while the boys x-boxed (it’s become part of the routine during lockdown – a symbol that the working day is done!)
- Ate dinner then watched a little bit of Taskmaster then the boys took the dog out
- I caught up on some What’s App conversations and sent some replies
- Banged our drum and rang our cowbell for the NHS (this has been happening weekly at 8pm on a Thursday. Quite a few from our street come out and we can hear the neighbouring streets too)
- Video-called our friends to make a team for the Virtual Pub Quiz
- Cracked open a Malibu cocktail in a tin (and on a school night! Shocking!)
- Got a very respectable score of 40/50
- Time to get everyone to bed
I am grateful for –
- The excitement and delight of my Mum and son seeing each other after 2 months
- A fun Joe Wickes workout this morning which gave me lots of energy to get through the day
- The Quiz with our friends
No. of steps – 7,901
Bedtime – 9.50pm
Notes & Observations about the WITL project –
- Note to self – I want to capture some facts and news about the pandemic and lockdown rules to add to the scrapbook
- Love documenting things like the swans and waiting to see the baby cygnets (which usually happens each year since we’ve lived near the river)
