Today felt really hard, I'm not exactly sure why. I woke up not too tired and had enough time to get up and make coffee and yoghurt, apple and granola for breakfirst.
I logged on for our team call and got stuck into work, but really struggled to be as productive as I'd hoped. I'd booked onto an Arvon course with Hisham Matar and listened in the background for the first section and then participated for the second, he was really interesting and the writing exercises were really interesting - write a description of the room you are in, past tense and in the third person and then 3 people including my friend Lauren and a lady that Lauren googled and found online and then they had to rewrite the same piece and task but without stating it, having in mind that the main character had found out that they were to become a parent. I found it challenging, but a good exercise to complete. It made me feel like I should definitely be doing more writing. I think it's one of the things from a very young age that I've wanted to do is to be a published writer, and so I should really try and make it happen.
Our bathroom sink is really smelly, I tried to clean some of the gunk underneath the plug hole and I managed to drop the stick in there, it's been a clumsy day.
Alan made some scones for lunch and we had them with clotted cream, jam and strawberries - they were delicious! It did cheer me up a little as did the subscription flowers that arrived, more eucalyptus foliage and some white/yellow snapdragons. I was busy so I popped them in a few vases of water and then later on in the evening I tidied them up and moved the hydrageas from last time into one vase for the fresher looking ones and one for the older ones. I now have 4 vases of flowers around the house.
I did some more work and still struggled to be as productive, did a handover with Rachel who is now on annual leave for 2 weeks - I'm going to be super busy!
I then started cooking dinner, but the chicken in the Hello Fresh mango chicken and bulgar wheat took too long to cook so I had to hand over to Alan to finish up and start my end of term guide meeting which was an online Harry Potter Escape room that I'd done with my friend's son.
After guides I sat down with Alan for a bit and he wanted to go for a run and so we went and did 5K up to Sherburn on an out and back route, we went past our local pub that looked pretty busy, but socially distanced and safe.
I then tidied the kitchen, did a load of washing and set off the dishwasher. I had a shower in the bath and then listened to the High Low Podcast and put the washing away switching to the Archers.
I then came down and watched some Catfish and updated this blog...
