D went into college for an hour and I&#8217;d planned to go into Warwick to run some errands &#8211; but she was back just before lunch and I&#8217;d still not managed to get that done. I grabbed lunch very quickly and managed to get to Warwick to drop something at the Post Office and pick up some tea from <a href=\"https:\/\/goldenmonkeyteacompany.co.uk\">The Golden Monkey<\/a> (we were running low on Irish Breakfast and it would be a disaster to run out!) before a meeting at 2pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wore a face-covering out for the first time  &#8211; generally I&#8217;ve been in big open spaces when I&#8217;ve gone out of the house, but I was aware I might have to queue in the Post Office, and the staff in the tea shop were wearing masks last time I went. I saw other people wearing masks but they weren&#8217;t in the majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a short break from work when F got home from school and watched the start of Frozen 2 with her and B, but then had another call before I finally stopped for the day. Cooked spaghetti and meatballs for tea (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nigella.com\/recipes\/meatballs\">this recipe from Nigella<\/a> which I think is pretty good).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>F was in a slightly better mood today although she was still a bit grumpy about doing her 11+ tutoring session this evening &#8211; I think it just is difficult at 6:45pm for her to feel motivated to do more school work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m ready the kids <a href=\"https:\/\/nosycrow.com\/product\/orion-lost\/\">Orion Lost<\/a> at bedtime &#8211; an adventure set on a damaged spaceship aimed at kids\/young adults. I&#8217;m really enjoying reading it to them and its nice to be able to read some science fiction (with a good helping of mystery) to them rather than fantasy (there seems to be a lot more fantasy than science fiction in the kids book market).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weather is a bit miserable at the moment &#8211; but the kids have promised to make me a special breakfast to eat on the deck &#8211; once I&#8217;ve finished the deck &#8211; so some motivation to get this done before Sunday morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay safe, stay strong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feeling:\u00a0OK but a bit out of sorts Listening to:\u00a0Nothing today Watching: Legends of Tomorrow Woke up first this morning (not like me), made tea and did a bit of work before taking F to school, and only got round to breakfast once I&#8217;d done that.
