Disrupted service

Due to my laptop keyboard seemingly broken I'm restricted to just my desktop for any proper interaction online. (Much questioning of the children has been one but they deny all responsibility!) Yes I've got phone/tablet but really don't like the onscreen keyboard seeing as I have big fat sausage fingers. The desktop is set up in our bedroom and is all configured for work. Really don't want to go and sit there whilst not working so blog posts are likely to be a bit more sporadic. Previously I'd often rattle off a post in an evening when inspiration hit me whilst sitting on the sofa. That's not to be for a while now.

Had a lovely weekend. The Saturday was almost like a “normal” Saturday. Son did some football training in the morning (groups of 5 kids, no close contact etc). Getting a chance to catch up with the parents was much appreciated. Very heartening to hear a lot of people are having similar experiences to ourselves with regard to working and schooling from home. Think we're doing alright actually. Then a trip over to friends whose house backs onto the beach. Lovely afternoon sat out by the sea catching up while the kids entertained themselves. Then a dash over to see my mum and step-dad to sit in their garden and eat food. Then Sunday was a bike ride with friends in the morning for me and a trip up to my folks' allotment int he afternoon to pick ripe berries and water all the plants.

Sadly it is now Monday and back to the saltmines for me. :(

I am taking in the 100 Days to Offload blogging challenge set by Kev Quirk. Whilst lockdown is on do 100 blog posts to help you offload and to read what everyone else is up to.
