Wow a month away from my diary it goes fast.Work is settling down slightly now with the new paperless system and we are getting to grips with it.I have done 2 days in the office this week to help out with something and have enjoyed it, but also the combination of being able to do both ways of working ie home and office definitely appeals. My work are opening up more desks in work starting at the beginning of June for anyone who is desperate to go back.there . However the number will still be very limited.My second vaccine is booked for next Saturday which I am glad about. I have now lost two stone and am feeling great. I have cancelled my gym membership and have started doing workouts in the morning bloom young ones really enjoy them and 30 mins is long enough for me . That coupled with the walking is keeping me feeling well.A trip to Windermere has been had to visit my friend and I loved being there and of course didn't want to come home even though I was only there for the day. The weather was glorious and we were able to sit outside . A few more walks have been happening with various friends and I feel much better for seeing them.Financially I had to buy a new washing machine which was fine the good old EF. I am having my ceiling over boarded if you remember I had a crack in it and the HA have finally been to assess it. Not sure when it will happen but probably late summer.My GKs are all great and back into their activities after school, my DGS is playing for a football team academy now and DGD is into ballet and gymnastics. Baby is adorable and growing very fast .Hope all well with everyone.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.3

Lovely day today to be outside . Shopping with my dad and helped them with some things. My son organised lunch at the pub nearest his dads and DGC school. Met up with DS, Ex and BIL , enjoyed catching up on family news. Got the DGC from school and took them home , spent another hour or so in DDs garden.I am not sure what I am doing tomorrow Tuesday will definitely be spending sometime outside .Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.3
