Busy time in lockdown…

We have had a busy start to this week of school holidays.

Vicky has been busy painting the garden furniture and Simon has been busy in the garage. We now have a doorway in between the old garden storage area and the office – in readiness for making it into two offices OR an office and a gym.

Also, half of the garden store is prepped for drywall along with power and networking AND preparation for underfloor heating.

Next job is to prepare the walls in the main office with timber for drywall. To do this we need to manoeuvre the office furniture around to remove some / all of the existing flooring = a BIG job.

Finally we need to find a supplier of drywall plus more timber and other goodies to either deliver to the house or click and collect.

It will be terrific when done but seems to be a much bigger job than we first thought…..

Remote school day 1….

So we are ready to go with school, albeit at home. The boys teachers have set them up with their first lessons and daddy day care is set to commence in under 30 minutes 🧐

Mum is heading out to the office at the bottom of the garden with only Alexa drop in to keep here entertained as to our progress 🙂

Wish us luck – there is alcohol for the parents that make the end of day 1 unscathed I hear….

The op….

…. was successful and the eldest is now recovering nicely with his Xbox as a handy element towards pain relief 👌

Elly was incredibly brave yesterday – way more than I think we expected and the nurses made a comment on how wonderful his manners and overall approach was – nice one Els 🙂

Now it is all about relaxed recovery – we have arrange a week off school (lesson prep apparently will be shared with him via FireFly so at least he won’t find himself far behind 🙂
