It’s been a couple of busy months here hence my radio silence on this blog…so i’m making it my mission now we’re in Lockdown 2.0 to begin regularly posting again and updating the content here.
So where have I been? Nowhere really (like everyone!) but I’ve been busy helping Charlie settle back into pre-school from September having not been for 6 months. Jack also started at nursery which was a bit of an adjustment for him having not been looked after by anyone else for so long so we had a few extra settle sessions and (fingers crossed) we’ve turned a corner. I know it’s the right thing for him, especially being able to interact with other children his age.
I also started back at work having been away for 18 months. My boss has had a baby so I have gone back to help cover her maternity leave and it’s been nice working with flowers again and having some ‘me’ time to have adult conversations and be out of the house. But as luck would have it I had only been back a month before we had to close the shop under the new Covid restrictions. As much as flowers bring so much joy, they’re not essential, so for now I’m not working for a month again. I have to say i’m already appreciating having my Saturdays back and savour them so much more now I have the boys.
So while we’re in lockdown i’m going to take the time to address some interior jobs at home like re-painting the bathroom ceiling and sorting the shelves in our bedroom. I’m also tidying the garden getting it ready for winter, planting some Spring bulbs and planning what seeds to sow come the new year.
Oh, and we’ve also put a deposit down on a puppy! I’m so excited, but also a bit tentative, having never even had a goldfish as a pet before it’s going to be quite a change for me, but one that I think will be great for our family, so stay tuned for puppy news!
I hope you’re all staying safe and well.
