The days and hours really are blurring into one. Wednesday… what happened Wednesday? We got a delivery! Mum ordered from a newly opened local craft business called ‘Alma Branch crafts’ as a little surprise for us. She ordered an adorable framed print titled ‘these little piggies stayed home’ with a different pig illustration for all 5 of us with our…

Dear Isolation #55
We somehow managed to get through our morning cardio workout, our bodies were telling us that we need a break as we cried through the squats. Yoga was planned for Wednesday (plot spoiler, was well needed) I forgot to mention that over the weekend Amy’s baking fought back and she received a bit of a nasty baking battle scar aka…
Dear Isolation #53 & #54
We had a very lazy and cosy Sunday with the rain not making going outside look very appealing. I opted for a lie in while exercise freaks (or something like that) mum and Amy decided to wake up early and do a ‘sexy bikini body workout’. This was a very dated video, as you can tell by the title and…
Dear Isolation #52
Wasn’t yesterday just the most beautiful weather? It feels like a life time ago with today’s grey skies. We started Saturday off with a sweaty full body workout, the door was flung over mid way through as we couldn’t handle the 21 degrees it was showing in the living room. I spent most of the day outside, with factor 30…
Dear Isolation #50 & #51
Thursday was a day for getting stuff done so we could try and make the most of our bank holiday weekend – gotta give ourselves quarantine holidays right? Jack decided he needed another trip to the outdoor barbers on Thursday aka Megan anxiously going at his hair with the clippers. The clippers however had other ideas and decided to die…

Nearly at day 50, now that is pure madness. Tuesday started strong with an abs and arm workout and the daily reminder that planks never get easier. Technology however was not on my side and all the work that I tried to achieve was halted by various technical issues – you know just one of those days where everything seems…
Dear Isolation #47
So when I was finally in a physical state to do some exercise (aka I can walk without waddling), what video did Amy choose? Bum and abs. It was less horrific than the HITT so can still walk today and was grateful for it putting me in a good head space on a Monday morning. It was a very bitty…
Dear Isolation #46
I made the rookie error of again opting for a lie in over a stretch, this came back to haunt me later on the hour round trek to the post box. Amy had a big pile of thank you cards that needed posting so we proposed our trip out to the postbox. Jack wanted to get in on the letter…
Dear Isolation #45
The weekend rolls around again.. what week are we on? Sal and Amy made the sensible choice of participating in some yoga designed for ‘achey legs’, Megan instead decided that a lie in would be better use of her time so continued to hobble throughout the entirety of the day. I did try some very non committal stretches on the…
Dear Isolation #43 & #44
Thursday was just one of those days, we all need a corona cry now and again don’t we? I spent most of the day, for this reason, doing some well needed self care mainly in crafting form. I started a scratch art picture of fireworks above St Paul’s which was incredibly therapeutic, I am grateful for the 3 other ones…
