This week I have mostly been doing: Jigsaws! Every evening! During my lunchbreak! Most of the weekend! Please please no more jigsaws! We've now completed two jigsaws this lockdown and I need a break now before we start another one. (There are two more waiting in the cupboard.) I heard on the radio that the… Continue reading Jigsaw Jigsaw Jigsaw Jigsaw (46.20)

Moody (45.20)
I can't figure why I've had such spasms of bad mood this week. Is it stress? Is it coffee? Is it the Fig Rolls? Is it not going out for a run when I said I would? Is the yoga releasing some negative energy I was holding somewhere in my body? Perhaps I was subconsciously… Continue reading Moody (45.20)
Well as least we know for sure now (44.20)
It's been another long nervous week with news of virus infections rising, local lockdowns implemented, and news coming in from Europe of other nations re-imposing lockdown measures (France, Germany). All week I've been holding my breath and tensing for the confirmation. And it came on Saturday night - Halloween, aptly enough. Another four weeks of… Continue reading Well as least we know for sure now (44.20)
The clocks go back (43.20)
The clocks have gone back so does that means it is really truly the end of summer now? Despite being so late in October, the weather has actually been surprisingly mild here. I go out in a big jacket but after 10 minutes I am too warm. But not warm enough to take my jacket… Continue reading The clocks go back (43.20)
Last week, this week, sorry I’m late (42.20)
I’m a little bit late catching up on last week. I was on holiday, and it took me a little longer to get my thoughts in order when I got home. This ad is old news now; I think they have been pulled when public reaction went so strongly against them. It’s so wrong in… Continue reading Last week, this week, sorry I’m late (42.20)
This week 41.20
I hate to throw some negative vibes out there, but this week, has there been a feeling that everything turning to shit? Or is it just in my head? It's been one of those weeks where the news started bad and then got worse. I feel like I'm holding my body tense, waiting for a… Continue reading This week 41.20
… and three quarters (40.2020)
The last quarter of the year! Working in the financial industry does mean I tend to divide my year up into quarters. That's how we organise our reporting and the first few weeks of each new quarter usually have a higher stress level. To add to that, the last quarter of the year is when… Continue reading … and three quarters (40.2020)
Settle into autumn (39.20)
This week I learned to pay attention to what time I choose to walk through the park. If I walk through at 8am, we are entering peak school drop off time and the streets around the park are very busy and the narrow paths in the park are crowded with parents and children. I'm not… Continue reading Settle into autumn (39.20)
The end (of summer) is nigh (38.20)
I'm finish this week with a small sense of panic building. We've been spoilt for so long with mild weather, and this weekend it was still possible to sit out in a t-shirt and shorts. However the weather forecast can't be denied, there is a sharp cold front coming and temperatures are going to drop… Continue reading The end (of summer) is nigh (38.20)
37.2020 – saying goodbye
I'm still not prepared to admit summer is over - certainly the weekend weather was more summer-like than autumnal - but this week there were quite a few things to which we have to say goodbye. Including, it seems, to group gatherings, as the Covid19 clouds are gathering on the horizon and we are mentally… Continue reading 37.2020 – saying goodbye
