Back to (in-person) school….

Today marks the first day of school for the kids of England – the boys were not best pleased to be back to being woken up just before 7am (they have been used to 8am wake-up calls since the beginning of January).

They had to go in last Thursday for the first (of many we assume) of their Lateral Flow Testing – which was super well organised and super quick – great job done at school there.

Sadly, this also marks the beginning of the school run for 2021 – today’s was a nice start with there being roadworks in Ossett – adding almost 20 minutes to the journey 🙁

During their time working from home, they have both slipped back a little with their grades so we all have a little work to do in order to get back into the right shape. Hopefully this all gets into shape relatively painlessly and without too many “fall outs” with the pair of them… wish us luck…

So, we undertook dry January (Vicky’s suggestion yet she lamented Simon all month for agreeing to it :-(), then Simon took on headachy February – that’s right – no caffeine during the month of February.

It actually ended up with very little in the way of headaches and today is the day that the coffee machine will be the busiest of the whole year 🙂

We also nipped to Costco post anniversary ring collection, so we also have Pepsi Max in #winning

Apparently, Simon cheated during the month as he consumed chocolate….. Some of which were supplied for Valentines day by Vicky so there is a deep suspicion of underhanded cheating….. 🙂

Anyway, we are back on, firing on all the cylinders, which is kind of handy as the warm snap from last week has been replaced with -1C once again this morning… brrrrr

Have a great week folks – it’s sure gonna be fun in our household – the last week of home schooling for a while and we are apparently waiting to see if Simon’s irritability vanishes along with the supply of coffee……
