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…

Dear Isolation #42

Where has this week gone? Feel like I’ve blinked and it’s almost the weekend. We started Wednesday off with a ‘basic’ HITT YouTube video, we can confirm a month into lock down that basic is still not easy. It was very repetitive, 5 exercises repeated 4 times with no motivational mentor on screen that we’re used to. We did ask…

Dear Isolation #40 & #41

Monday was spent mostly doing a lot of top secret birthday planning so I thought it best to combine into a birthday special and a special birthday it was. We decided what better theme for Amy than a Disney birthday, can’t get to Disney so we brought it to us (sort of). I’d spent the last couple of days making…

Dear Isolation #39

Made it to Sunday and potentially our last day of sunshine for a wee while. I chickened out of exercise yesterday and instead opted for a lie-in, can you blame me really?? Mum and Amy powered through with an abs and arms workout – potentially to make me feel guilty for staying in bed. I did get my exercise from…

Dear Isolation #38

Our sunny Saturday started off with a walk to the garden centre in search of eggs. We said hello to Alan and Pete (The alpacas) as we left the farm, they always keep their distance (abiding by government guidelines of course). We also said hello to two cyclists who suddenly came up behind us and made us jump, the man…

Dear Isolation #37

Jack declared yesterday as the beginning of a three day weekend. ‘How is that different to any other day?’ I asked. ‘You can start drinking at 12 on the weekend.’ he replied. We started our crazy weekend with some not so crazy yoga, following an ‘energising’ yoga video from ‘Yoga with Adrienne’. I enjoyed the appearance of her dog who…

Dear Isolation #35 & #36

Another two day installment, aren’t you lucky. The search for flour is a treacherous and time-consuming one, mum and Amy have scoured the internet for flour that doesn’t cost more than a small house. They managed to find some from a company called ‘Flower and White’ and it arrived on Wednesday morning. They also cheekily ordered a few packets of…

Dear Isolation #34

Tuesday was a day of productivity (and of course more baked goods) Mum and I did the morning workout while Amy did some of her own stretches – don’t really blame her. Our four left feet attempted a cardio dance workout of which we got one move right in every 50. The choreography got continually faster and faster (intermittent with…
