Stage 1

Today we entered stage 1 of the easing of the lockdown. Nothing really changed except diy and hardware stores reopened and we can officially meet up with people outside our household. (Which I've already done on the sly he he 😏)

Mia started her summer exams today and in true Mia style she also started studying for them today! I spent half my day off helping her prepare for her Irish exam this afternoon! Here's a pic of her all set up ready to get started!

This afternoon I did some baking and gardening, because I was too tired for a walk or run so there wasn't really anything else to do! My sunflowers are getting transplanted to a bigger pot tomorrow in the hope that it will help them grow bigger.

Paul power washed our patio...and our side passage...and the front path and driveway. So now one section of the path is gleaming while the rest is grey!

Here's a pic of woodies prepared for the big reopening today. Apparently queues were hours long this morning, in the lashing rain. People are mad! Apparently one woman who was interviewed said she just wanted to buy geraniums!! 😂

I actually ended up going on a couple of work calls today just because I was just faffing around with nothing else to do. Lock down has really highlighted to me how bad I am at just taking the foot off the peddle...definitely something I need to work on! Like when me, Paul and Mia decide to go for a walk and I'm like 'right come on guys we really need to get going', and they're like 'its 10am. We're on lockdown and have nothing else to do all day. Why are you rushing?!' 🙈

I did a stretching Pilates class this evening while Paul and Mia played call of duty in the room beside me! I'm there trying to be all Zen and relaxed and all I can hear in the background is machine gun rounds and bombs exploding! 😂Read more
