You're not gonna believe this…
Everyday emails to my pal about… everything!
Hey Friend! How’s it going? I am TIRED today but it’s more emotionally than physically. It’s the kind of tired when you’re dealing with the same thing in different ways but it either doesn't seem to get better or the progress is so small, it doesn't look like anything has changed. But I push forward … Continue reading Wakey wakey
Hey Friend! How are you? What have you been up to this week? It’s the start of my final week of the holidays (boooo!) so I’m cramming in as much as I can. Last week, we went to see the Schiaparelli exhibition at the V&A with my dear friend, S. We’d arranged to meet her … Continue reading Let’s Explore
Hey Friend! How’s it going? I really hope you’re not complaining about the heat! We spend too many months in dreariness in the UK to be moaning about a wonderfully long summer! We are already in the second week of August, which means I have a week and a half left before I’m back at … Continue reading Working 8ish till 4ish…
Hey Friend! How are you? What’s new? I’m well now, but the start of the week was a different matter. I don’t subscribe to the Monday Blues but I have to admit, I was definitely feeling a bit… meh at the start of the week. Which, of course, just made the day longer and harder, … Continue reading The Nut Cracker
Hey Friend, Hope all is well with you. I think we’re on the last day of the unexpected May heatwave with next week’s forecast showing rain every day. It’s been fun while it lasted but here’s hoping this wasn’t our only bit of summer this year. The mood is somewhat subdued in our home today … Continue reading Houston, We Have a Problem
Hey there, How’s things with you? I hope all is well and you are, like us in the UK, enjoying the early summer. It has been swelteringly hot, topping 34 degrees I believe, on Monday, but I am not complaining. Unlike a woman on the bus last week, who complained she couldn’t breathe when temperatures … Continue reading Summer time?
Hello Friend, How are you? Can you believe it’s April already? Seriously, where has the time gone? One week of the Easter holidays has flown by in a blur of chocolate, brownies and bread. Older Miss made a sourdough starter and has been delighting us with baked goods all week. Not sure how we’re going … Continue reading Money and Other Things
Hey Friend! How are you doing? January passed in a blur and February seems to want to follow suit in a week of grey skies and pouring rain. Welcome, New Month. But hope springs forth – daffodil shoots are poking up all over the place and it gives me a quiet joy. I, for one … Continue reading Make it Make Sense…
Hey Friend! How’s things with you? It’s not only darker here, in London, but also colder now too. The heating is on and the duvet coat, hat, scarf and gloves are essential when heading outdoors. Even though it’s freezing, there’s something quite satisfying about the crunch of frost-encrusted leaves underfoot. Older Miss is settling in … Continue reading Welcome to The School Office
Hey Friend! How’s it going? I’ve been back at work this week but I enjoyed the novelty of two weeks paid time off for the Easter break and wondered why I took so many years to work in a school. Previously, I’ve had to be content with a couple of days here, a couple there, … Continue reading No Wi-Fi? No Problem
