So it’s been a bit of a busy week. Work definitely interferes with my social life.... I was in work on Monday and Tuesday - training for the ‘new normal’ school then on Wednesday the children came in. I was expecting to be with a teacher who I like but is very loud...and I have to admit her voice grates after a while. I was expecting Yr 2 children who I don’t know.....anyway after last minute time table changes I’m now with a lovely gentle teacher who does a lot through drama and with a mixed class of years 4 and 5 - all whom I’ve worked with at some point - so I’m really happy with my lot. It’s very different and like a military procedure but so far so good. We have to go in earlier each day but finish at 12.15 on a Friday. It’s a much slower pace than I’m used to and it’s taking some getting used to - but I can live with that.
It’s  a bit of a shock to the system getting up early - I’ve been waking at about four and not going back to sleep properly in case I oversleep....I’m hoping it’ll sort itself soon.
Mse wise I got lots of yellow sticker items last night - a cooked chicken for £1 plus lots of veg and bread ranging from 5p to 30p. Put a smile on my face 🤪

It was lovely finishing at 12.15 today. Dh had brunch ready for when I got in and then we drove about 10 minutes to a different spot on the local river and walked a section I’ve not walked before. We found a lovely ice cream shop that was open for takeaway and I had a gorgeous Cornish ice cream - white chocolate and raspberry- wish I’d been eating it in Cornwall -  by the sea watching the waves crashing - I’d even risk the seagulls 😂😂 I’m stiff and sore now though - early night and a dose myself up me thinks.
I need to do a bit of housework in the morning and then going around to go for a walk with relative. 

I’ve finished the cardigans for the gks and want to get them in the post tomorrow. I’ve started a little hooded jacket for somebody I know expecting a little boy in August. Wool from my stash - I’ve also crocheted a shawl - again with wool I had in. So it should be ok as a present I hope - they don’t know it hasn’t cost me anything.....but I paid for the wool at some point in the past.

Ice cream sounded fab~~could almost taste it!

Yesterday I went out in my protective family bubble with my ds and dh and had a ride to the local(ish) seaside. It’s an hours drive from ds house. We stayed away from the centre and went to a town a little further along from the main drag. They’ve spent millions doing the sea front up right along the coast and the water board a have made massive improvements. It was lovely. I’d expected a bit of a cloudy day but the sun shone down on us. We sat at a little concrete table and stools which are dotted along the sea defences and ate fish and chips followed by yet another ice cream. We had a short walk then retreated to the car for a drive along the 7 miles of the main seaside attraction to the opposite far end and had another short walk. The bonus was the loos were open 😳👍It was busy but not silly and folk were social distancing. The centre of the place is usually heaving and is a bit loud and gaudy - it was a bit surreal seeing most places with the shutters down and  all the famous attractions closed on a beautiful sunny day. I always avoid the centre and visit the areas either side of the big resort. We were all shattered.
Today I’d intended a big clean up of the house. It’s not too bad but a bit of spit and polish wouldn’t do it any harm. I got distracted and ended up going to B&Q then to Morrison’s.....I can’t get anything done when dh is home. We have been re-painting models for the garden and I’m making a  miniature Japanese Garden in a plant pot base with my azalea in a pot dropped into the tray. I do enjoy doing the modelling for the railway.
Pity I’m in work tomorrow - it does interfere with my fun 😂😂

Sounds like you had a great day all round. 

Boo to work 😂

I was so tired at work today- I had to stop myself falling asleep. We had a session playing on the school field and were the furthest possible distance from inside......the heavens opened and the thunder started. I’d taken my coat but left it in my car. I was like a little drowned rat and ended up sitting in my wet clothes for the rest of the day. Lesson learned - I’ll take my coat into work tomorrow 

I’m still struggling to stay  awake so an early night for me 
NSD today and payday which is always welcome.

Boo to getting so wet.
