It is Tuesday again, I swear I only wrote last weeks Life In A Lockdown post a couple of days ago. The weeks are flying past at the moment.
Have you managed to get out and start enjoying freedom, or are you still staying safe and just going out if you need to? I seem to have been busy, but not done much you can find out below.
If you want to take part in the linky the questions are
Table of Contents
1) How are you feeling/coping?
I am doing ok at the moment, I think now that the fight for C’s EHCP is nearly over, I am a lot calmer. I say nearly over as we are still waiting to see the draft copy and agree it.
I have mentioned in my posts on living with a chronic illness, how C has lost touch with all her friends. On Friday I posted a facebook memory of C and her old best friend from Primary school in their cubs uniform (those on my facebook may have seen it). The girls were inseparable, but fell out in year 6. This was not a problem as they went to different Secondary schools. Friday evening her friends Mum messaged me ( we are still friends) asking if I could pass her daughters number onto C. The girls have been chatting none stop since.
Whilst chatting with C, I asked if she had finished anymore pics and she said yes
I am so jealous of her talent, apparently they are from a group called NCT.
2) What have you been up to over the past 7 days?
We had a lovely trip to B&Q, my husband loves that place. Also our local garden centre now has a farm shop and we visited there, I was very good but could have spent a fortune. Apart from that I have been sorting things around the house. Plus working
3) What is your favourite post of the past 7 days (it could be yours or someone else’s)?
I have decided to bring back my Diary of a Menopausal Mum, it was a year to the day since I made my last post. It is a lighthearted look at the menopause.
4) Do you have any plans for lockdown easing?
We have a few plans in place to meet up with friends, it has been such a long time since we last saw them
5) What have you bought this week that others might like? (Especially if from a small business.)
We are starting to make a little area in the garden where we can sit and enjoy the summer evenings. We purchased a fire pit last week for when it is a little chilly
6) What have you been grateful for over the past 7 days?
Seeing C smile and happy for being back in touch with her old BFF
7) What would you like the future to know about life during a pandemic?
Never take life for granted, be grateful for the little things
8) Anything else you would like to mention?
Keep on going, take one day at a time and we will get through this
Thank you to
Things here have just started to really ease up (california). We went to disneyland yesterday, and I get my 2nd vaccine dose today! Light is at the end of the tunnel!
It is lovely to see things returning to normality, good luck with your 2nd vaccine
I’m hoping to meet up with some friends over the weekend , oh we are after a fire pit for the garden , roasted marshmallows, yum
I hope you have a great time, I am planning on roasting marshmallows and found some giant ones in our local garden centre the other day x
We have been considering getting a firepit for our garden – it would make a lovely addition. Glad you are feeling ok.
We have talked about getting one for a long time and decided to finally get one
This lockdown feels like it has dragged on forever, I’m looking forward to returning to normality 🙂
It has been a long time and one we never thought we would see end, but normality is coming thankfully
I’m hoping to meet up with family after lockdown eases. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
It has been a long time, we are talking with friends and family about meeting up once it all eases fully
It is so nice that shops have opened, we can go to garden centres and B&Q and obviously see people outside. I feel so much happier this week.
It is lovely being able to just get out and about and feel normality again
Wonderful blog post, as usual 🙂
My family LOVE BnQ atm… what is with that? Lol. I will take part in the challenge this afternoon 🙂
I have no idea what it is with B&Q, I said to C yesterday we are just popping out to B&Q and she laughed, my husband seems to forget when we go in there and look at everything. One time we went I swear he looked at every piece of wood we were there for hours
How lovely that C is in touch with her old friend again, always lovely how that happens! Fab pics too, always jealous of people with creative flair!
It is lovely, they were inseparable right from the stqrt of reception and such a shame they fell out. She has missed her as well and it is lovely seeing her smile when chatting to her. I am very jealous of her talent x
