How's it feeling, @BridgetTheCat ?!

Not quite real yet. And next weekend is Easter so everyone I work with is off. It’ll take about 3 months to settle into a routine, which is a nice way to spend the spring I think.

Not necessarily. I'm 15 months into it, and don't have a routine:)

Three years and no routine here 😁
We do seem to be pretty busy though, just not in an organised way.

We seem to have plenty of things to keep us occupied too, but still love the and appreciate the spontaneity

Definitely! We’re governed more by the weather these days.
I used to sit in meeting rooms sometimes looking out at a beautiful sunny day and wishing I was out on the hills. Now I can just pick the best day for a walk and go.

I am 6 months into a 3 day working week and I don't have a routine.

Twelve months today. I have some anchor points. I’m learning French and Spanish. French with an online tutor and Spanish in a class. All the others in my Spanish class are retirees. I have some caring responsibilities as well.
I also do some “dailies” with a morning coffee, like wordle and worldle to keep the brain active.
Apart from that, the freedom to just take off on a warm weekday and not worry about the crowds is great. So often now we can just decide to do something rather than wishing we could do something. Having enough that we can afford to just decide to take a train (within the region at least) and pop into a cafe for lunch is great.

I do have an element of routine in that I do some sort of exercise class each weekday, mostly Pilates. I can always cancel if I fancy to do something else but I like there to be an activity planned. OH is still working so I expect this will change once he is around more too

Wishful thinking still MG, or has he put his neck on the block? 🤐
