It felt very strange, especially to be sending B off to school again since (unlike F) he hasn&#8217;t been at all since March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D woke B up and he was ready in reasonable time &#8211; although having to turn back during the walk to the bus stop when he remembered he hadn&#8217;t brought his timetable meant we almost missed the bus. Luckily the bus driver was the same one from last year who B knows well and gets on well with &#8211; so she stopped just on the road next to us to let him on saving us a dash to the bus stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D dropped F at school and I did the pick up later in the day. Despite the staggered drop-off and pick-up times (so just two classes at a time) it was pretty busy &#8211; which feels uncomfortable although I&#8217;m not convinced this really matters given the kids spend the day together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both kids came home seeming very happy and pretty excited after having a whole day out of the house &#8211; which was good to see &#8211; especially for B who seemed quite apprehensive going in this morning. B had chosen to wear his mask most of the day but said most people didn&#8217;t (except teachers in classrooms where 2m distancing was impossible). Overall it seems like the schools are trying to do the right thing, but ultimately I&#8217;m not sure the conditions (lots of children in a small space) are in any way conducive to meaningful distancing or &#8220;bubbles&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For D and I at home it all seemed very quiet, and with D going back to work on site from tomorrow I&#8217;m going to be home alone again &#8211; which will be very strange after 6 months of constant company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay safe, stay strong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feeling:\u00a0Good Listening to:\u00a0Lost in the Woods (Frozen II soundtrack) Watching:\u00a0Miracle Workers Both B and F back at school today &#8211; so for the first time in months we had to be up and going through the school routine.
