Day 39 - Saskia B Day!

It's my Saskia's birthday today!  We have known each other nearly 13 years now and I can't imagine life without her in it.  She is my rock in tough times, always tags along to parties with me when I don't know anyone, makes me laugh, smile, cry and makes me feel loved and cared for.  I am so very lucky to have her in my life and I'm gutted we can't go and celebrate her birthday properly.  But I am trying extremely hard to just be patient as this uncertain time and I know we will be back to making amazing memories again in the future.  (I can't say soon, as that word is starting to piss me off!). Here are some of my favourite pictures and videos of us making memories.

I always know I've done something wrong with this look 😂

Was totally smashed and didn't know the words! Good times 😂




2nd Party - hadn't touched a drop 😬😂

CP!

Exhausted from CP! 😴

Where I would like to be 😊😋

For a present I sent a card, flower, bottle of bubbles and some chocolates.  I wanted to get her an afternoon tea delivered too but the company I picked ran out of delivery slots and it was too late to go anywhere else.  As it happened, she had one anyway. 👍


Nobody was feeling it this morning,  I had a rubbish sleep, kept waking up again and then at 4am I could have just got up. I dozed in and out and eventually got up at 8:15 am. Ellis struggled to wake up, Oscar moaned that I hadn't woken him up earlier and Leo was away with the fairies.

I'm definitely getting stronger as although the Joe workout was hard this morning I could tell that I was finding certain exercises easier to do. 💪

Today I decided to do things a little differently.  All the home schooling stuff is put on the school website and they email you and send texts too.  It's all very confusing but I know they are trying their best.  To save paper and ink I thought it would be good if the boys could work off the screen and just write in their books the answers etc but it didn't go down well with Leo.  I shouldn't try and fix something that isn't broken!  That will teach me 😏




I know it's not an essential item, but I bought myself some flowers on the click and collect shop this week.  I could do with some lessons on how to arrange them properly so I'll add that to my list of things I want to do, when I can.😊


We finished our school work and I went out for my tactical run via Saskia's house.  I was so excited that I ran a mile in 8 minutes, 4 seconds!  😅  I could not have kept that up for long though.  It was so lush to see her but so hard to say goodbye.  In fact I refused to even say it.😒

Sat in the garden at dinner time with the boys as we know we won't be able to do it for a bit.  I don't want the rain to come and I'm going to have to actually go for a jog in proper rain it would seem.  Yawn I know.





We had a lovely visit today from a Jay.  I think Leo named it, Jay. 😂



I totally forgot that it was Monday and that the netball girls had arranged a zoom chat for 8pm.  I picked up my Whatsapp messages about 8:20pm and quickly got online.  It was so good to see them and to have a chat about some different stuff.  Had a giggle and a catch up and think we're going to try and make it a regular thing, which is great!  I will only ever drink tea or water when we do though. 😉😁


I blogged, messed around with Snapchat and was then planning on watching a Killing Eve episode but I just ran out of time.  Ah well, there is always tomorrow. 🤷






I realise the blog is monotonous and boring most of the time, but I suppose that's life right now.  We aren't going anywhere special or doing anything particularly exciting, just living.   With this in mind, I've realised that years ago I wrote a few blog entries but never actually finished them.  I plan to add some pictures and content and post them.  I might even write a bit about our travels.  Rob did a brilliant online diary of it but had to take the website down when he started his job.  I'm sure it would be okay to share some pictures and stuff, like...








I really didn't plan on writing an entry a day and I know it's all a bit same same but I will enjoy looking back on it all when I'm a little old lady sat in front of my wood burner stove, bucket of tea in hand, surrounded by photos of my extended family. 😍

Hope everyone is making the most of their days, even if that means sitting on your bum doing nothing.  Try and enjoy the little bits.  Doing the blog has made me notice the little things more as I am looking for things to remember.

Today I learnt that I should't try and change something that is working perfectly well as it is.   I'm looking forward to having a new experience, and I am grateful for the small things.

Stay safe and well everyone 💙💚💛💜
