Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. Having spent the entirety of last weekend running back and forth from the bathroom either for my own needs or following my children’s whimpers, I am rather relieved that we’ve finally recovered (though we all are still very struggling with fatigue and a strange lack of appetite) and that we can spend this weekend enjoying bike rides, dog walks, and with a little luck, I’m hoping that we may …

#LivingArrows – A Strange Silence 16/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl April 19, 2021

So there we have it, the holidays are officially over and the kids are both back at school, leaving me sitting in an eerily silent and stress-free house. It’s only 10 am and already I’ve managed to make the beds, wash the pots, empty the dishwasher, do two loads of laundry, tidy downstairs, complete this weeks lesson plans for work, sort through and reply to my emails, and I’ve even tidied and arranged the car boot!

Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. It’s been a wet and wild weekend, the weather has been miserable! As we weren’t planning on going anywhere anyhow, we’ve busied ourselves with clearing and cleaning around the house. The kids meanwhile have kept themselves entertained with play-dough, painting, chalks, train tracks and J’s latest love – The Sims! Thankfully our little man is now well on the road to recovery, though he hasn’t …

Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. Despite the sniffly noses and hacking coughs, we got ourselves out to the local Dickensian Festival this weekend. Having finally found a parking space we tootled into town to take a look at the local stalls and shops. Paul and I had a mulled wine or two whilst the kids enjoyed the fairground rides and attractions which were dotted around the town. Once we’d seen everything we felt we …
