Not a lot happened yesterday, hence the gap. Not a great deal happened today either apart from Dan hosting a musical intro game and a further tidy of the garage. Went for a run not long after getting up because if I don’t do it then, it is unlikely to happen. Holiday nothingness gets in … Continue reading
Another one of those days today where you go at a gentle pace but get a decent amount done. These are the kind of days you need as a teacher starting a holiday, to reclaim your mind and be ‘awake’. Started off with another short run then Runtastic workout; tabletop crunch twists, hip drops and … Continue reading
A few things on the list today and loads of time to get them and do them. Started off with a short run as I try to get some fitness back with the aim being: fit as a fiddle by the end of the summer break. Kate went to The Kabin to make some masks. … Continue reading
It was obviously a weekend of entertainment with two days rolling into one. Up early on the Saturday to take Dan to football training (and help out as Iain’s #2 for the day – Chris was working). Socially distancing the team in the practices is pretty easy now – a good bunch of lads who … Continue reading
Leave a light on, please! Seventh day of the break and I have pretty much spent it in the garden, jet-washing the patio and flushing out the ants. All that though overshadowed (if such mundane things can be), by the news of a past pupil deciding it is time to leave this world. At 21 … Continue reading
Back home after a few days away in the camper van. It’s been great to start to relax, although the first week of the break is always trying to switch off from work and getting mentally un-tired – is that a thing? It was so easy to pack up with the campervan and leave the … Continue reading
Another day cycling but this time we headed over to Carsington Water to complete the 12 km loop on our bikes. I’d certainly recommend going around anticlockwise as that gets the hills out of the way for the first half of the loop and it finishes with a reasonably flat second half – that is … Continue reading
The first weekday of the summer break is over now and going away in the first week is something I’ve found really helps to get out of school mode and towards one where you enjoy some important things in life. Today we cycled some of the Tissington trail. The weather was not promising to be … Continue reading
Back in the camper van and setup near Ashbourne. The first break of the summer holidays and one that is much needed. There was a little lie in this morning, but not much. With Everton on tv at 12:00 and the van to pack, it was a busy morning. The first half for Everton was … Continue reading
Day one of the official summer break here for Leicester and the surrounding area. With a local lockdown, that means not a great deal of change for many – the status quo. For those of us that live outside of the boundary we can go and do some things. Whilst somewhat dazed in the state … Continue reading
