Joint effort for this one, starting with sal gal. The main daytime excitement of Thursday was a trip to the local drive thru Starbucks. Jack and Megan ventured out to find no queue and quickly returned with coffees, Frappuccino’s and smoothies. We all enjoyed our drinks; the novelty of getting takeout coffee gave much more pleasure than you’d imagine. This…

Dear Isolation #75, #76 & #77
Written by Mama Raynor… Wow how is it June already? Anyone else feeling that time seems to be travelling both very slowly and very fast this year? Jack couldn’t believe he has been staying with us for over 10 weeks – almost a piece of the furniture now (in the nicest way possible!) Monday was Tim and Sally’s 29th wedding…

Disappointingly for some of you, Megan is back on the blogging train. Thank you Sally for stepping in yesterday and providing some above average banter. Sunday did not require an intensive workout, it required yoga for sore legs. This is the only yoga routine that we can convince Amy to do because it’s basically just a glorified stretch with more…

Today you are being treated (or not!) to a guest blogger …. It’s Sally, so get ready for worse than usual banter, very average puns and probably quite atrocious spelling and grammar! We spent Friday morning recovering from Jacks birthday celebrations which involved hunting down the ping pong balls which had gone missing during the game of beer pong Quidditch. …

Our last lock down birthday of the year and hopefully the last lock down birthday full stop. Wednesday was spent almost entirely doing birthday preparations, I think Jack had forgotten what I looked like by the end of the day. He did meet a friend for a long walk around the country park and came back a lovely shade of…
Dear Isolation #69
I had a very restless night’s sleep (I am not a fan of sleeping in this sticky heat!) so decided an extra hour in bed would be beneficial, mainly for everyone else’s sanity. I therefore missed out on the intensive cardio workout that Mum and Amy did (oh what a shame!). It was my turn to be social yesterday and…
Dear Isolation #67 & #68
I’m a bit behind on the old blogs, which is a struggle when you can’t even remember what you ate for breakfast. Sunday was a lazy one, as the best Sunday’s are. Mum and I felt a bit house bound so decided to make the most of the nice weather and take a walk up to the country park. The…

Another bank holiday weekend rolls around, they should really just bank them and let us have them when this shit show is over. On Friday morning Jack and I got our bake on and made some cookies for a friend’s birthday. We worked surprisingly well in the kitchen together, we did have to get some advice from Baking Connoisseur Amy…
Dear Isolation #63 & #64
We have managed to survive the heat these past few days (just) and only escaped with very mild sunburn (go us!). Wednesday may have been one of my favourite days of lock down. We have been talking about making a slip and slide for a few weeks but never felt it was quite warm enough to warrant getting out the…
Dear Isolation #62
I thought I’d get in there early today before my head implodes in the heat, heat and Megan are not a great combination. The morning workout was more successful than the day previous, with no worry of anyone popping up at the window. We did a ‘sexy’ cardio workout. Can say we’ve never looked sexier. We rotated between inside cool…
