Isolation....

The pandemic continues to have an impact on our lives as a family and in particular our children. We are sadly in a period of isolation and not being able to leave the house for up to ten days (or even more) as Anna has sadly been tested positive for Covid-19. She is stuck in her room feeling groggy, tired and generally pants 😟 Lucy has missed out on a positive finish to the end of such a difficult year that she so richly deserves having worked so hard on her mock exams. She has been commendably patient and tolerant throughout all this, occasionally ranting about how the Boris has made a cock up in his handling of the pandemic. I feel sad and disappointed for them every day of what they have not had the opportunity to experience. They can never get these years back. Me - I'm just trying to survive and roll with each punch and to get through being strong for my family. Stresses such as further loss of income in the battle to keep a roof over our head don't help! I'm tackling this latest enforced 'staycation' by being my usual self and keeping busy. Work, gardening, biking, housework and I'm am going to be tackling decorating the hell hole that is Lucy bedroom at the end of the week. I'll hopefully see you on the other side safe and well! It's day four or three, I forget. The sun is shining and we go one day at a time xx
