Well, I was sent home yesterday from work and I am now at home for the foreseeable.
When I got home yesterday evening I actually did some video calls (which I never do) to my brother and a good friend…. it actually made me feel really positive.
I even had a celebratory Sherry!
We’re not allowed to go out now – only for essential food shop, 1 time out for daily exercise, to and from work (if working at home isn’t possible) and emergencies.
I’ve got 2 labradors and you should have seen their faces when I said I couldn’t take them out as much as I used to! We’ve now set up a timetable and are taking it in turns throughout the day – I’m on the bedtime shift! Walking the dogs is classed as exercise.
Our main food shop in town has announced that you can only go shopping on your own and not with your spouse! Toilet roll doesn’t seem to exist anymore and neither does pasta or antibacterial wipes.
We’re now not allowed to congregate with others (only with people from your household). You can be fined if you do.
First full day at home and I’ve never drunk so much tea (that’s what us English do best – keep calm and drink tea, it’s solves everything).
I’ve helped my daughter with her English work, I’ve even watched a horror film (no one else will watch them with me). I’ve worked out next months money (so I know what I’ve got to work with) and now I have decided to do some sewing. I love sewing!!
My daughter has made tea (or dinner… whatever you call it) as part of her home economics work. I am trying to get her to keep her school timetable as best as she can – keep the routine, however, her English teacher seems to be sending work daily (even on a non English day) 🤔
I even videoed myself reading a children’s book and sent it to my brother so he can show my niece and nephew!
Rather productive day.
