work/life balance – Fun, family and more

Scrub a dub dub.

We did a deep clean of our bedroom today. This is due to me finding “carpet moths” over the last week. We had an infestation a few years ago.

Back to normal?

I went into work today for the first time in about 6 weeks. I was meeting up with a colleague to go over what we need to do when we go back properly, most likely after Easter. It was good to chat and get back to some sort of familiar situation, if only for aContinue reading “Back to normal?”

It was the first day of home schooling after going into Coronavirus19 lockdown again. My daughter was being cagey, saying her laptop was out of charge but I told her to bring it down stairs anyway and we would charge it as she used it. The truth then came out that she had dropped itContinue reading “Kids do the funniest things!”

That’s it for 11 months.

The Christmas decorations are boxed up and back upstairs in the junk room, as my wife refers to the room we store all the necessary bits and bobs to run a family household. Just a few sweets, mince pies and a drop of Rum to finish off before Christmas is really over. I expect everyoneContinue reading “That’s it for 11 months.”
