Week 2 – Living for dinner time & walks to the beach…

 

One week down…..??? to go. I actually feel like I’m doing ok. It might be that I’m doing what I often do and not letting myself properly think about it. Time alone has never been a problem for me, I’m an only child, so I’ve always been able to keep myself entertained – I actually really like time alone. What’s bothering me at the moment is definitely the lack of cafes and pubs etc and just somewhere to go….

Long work days don’t always allow make me feel like going to classes. I do exercise normally, but certainly not every day. Along with Yoga, I’ve been trying out PE with Joe Wicks – crazy how many people he has watching that! All the while we are allowed, I’m also making sure I get outside mot days – I’m lucky enough that I can walk to the beach in 10 minutes. Someone left this cute pebble dude….

First week of working from home has been a little weird but I’m all set up now with my standing frame so that should help get me a little more in to the swing of things next week and hopefully help with the hellish hip pain. The work WhatsApp group chat has also been off the scale hilarious – oddly, I don’t think we have ever been so social. Every cloud.

I have noticed myself falling into a slight food obsession – anyone else? Even in the morning I’m thinking “ooh what can I have for dinner”. I think it’s part of trying to find a bit of a pattern to my day. I’ve always been a bit of a foodie and I love to cook but I’m finding that to be even more true now. I’ve also made “takeaway Fridays” an official thing (for as long as they stay open!) because my favourite Chinese (ironically) is basically essential…..so…….yeah. Ooh, I made brownies this week too, which was a bloody good shout and meant treats were available for most of the week. All in all, I’ve seen out week one without much ado.

Now please can this just be done, so we can have summer and fun and we can all see each other again.
