Coronavirus Diaries Day 100

Its Day 100 !!!

Coronavirus Diaries.

Wow 100 days of lockdown ( officially that is)I might just have to do a 100 days collage ?

Meanwhile ok so 100 days. That’s 15 weeks or 4 months thereabouts. wow.100 days living as a bit part of a surreal sci-fi movie. Insane stuff isn’t it.

We’ve coped with 100 days of trying to home school & frankly I think every parent needs a pat on the back. Keeping kids fed, watered, in some semblance of routine, entertained & happy is no mean feat… 24hrs a day for 100 days. I never ever dwell on the fact that I’m a single parent and all I will say is I’m so grateful my kids are good kids. So far no has died ??. Winning.

I’ve spoken to both schools as neither of my kids are back to school in July due to my shield. Oh my gosh I need to make a shield don’t I ?. Neither school unduly worried about school work which was relief.

100 days of more home baking than ever & my waistline is the proof that the home made bread is a winner. 100 days of trying to dream up new ways to keep busy doing nothing ?. Ok so nothing isn’t quite fair as actually I’ve been doing plenty of things but I suppose doing it all from home with none of the trips out & about that life would usually involve sort of feels like we haven’t done much.2020 bit of a write off I guess.100 days of photos of cups of tea, books, the cat, the weather & occasionally my ugly mug pulling mad mood faces.

100 days of books. According to my reading list I’ve read 20 books !! That includes 2 Classics that I had previously never read.

100 days of attempting to keep moving by dancing around like a loon to either Mr Motivator or the hair braided lady from Dance Groove and my knee seems better but I still cant run up the stairs or get off the floor without groaning. 100 days without a haircut ?. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve been tempted to just shave it all off.

I’ve written 20 letters. Sewn 4 garments for myself. 4 garments for Seren-Grace & 8 pairs of scrubs in fetching dark green fabric. 50 wash bags & roughly the same number of masks some of which I’ve donated to good causes for free. We have played two playstation games all the way through & movie marathoned our way through a variety of movie franchises including Indiana Jones, Rambo, Terminator, Mission Impossible, Resident Evil, Twilight, James Bond with Daniel Craig, X men & Underworld.

We have hosted two garden birthday parties and popped a small blow up paddling pool ?.I’ve actually shaved my legs a few times & yesterday even wore a Bra !!!! ?I do not wish to attempt to put on my jeans! These things have a habit of shrinking when left for too long in the wardrobe. The cat has finally stopped trying to leave home & I’m finally ready to put pictures up. Need another cupboard for lounge & our new home will be all unpacked & neat which is quite something after looking like I was living in a hoarders den in old house.

We were so lucky to move just before lockdown.

So there we have it. 100 days at home. Mad !

Btw – I definitely should not be left alone with Snapchat LOL. Compiling a Gallery of mood selfies from during LockDown. #Lockdownlife
