Well here we are.
Girls are back at preschool for the next couple of weeks and
we are working out this tentative new normal. we had a lovely time enjoying some freedom in the glorious sunshine last week and just figuring out how life works now.

Here is a recent exchange with the girls which sums up the
confusion of the country;
Clara: 'so we can go back to preschool mummy, are the poorly
people better?'
Me: 'umm no, at least not all of them, some of them are
better but not everyone.'
Clara: 'so can we go swimming?'
Me: 'no I'm afraid not'
Sylvie: (interrupting in a sing song tone) 'but we can
always go to the woods?!'
Me: 'yes Sylvie we can always go to the woods, how about
this afternoon?!'
Sylvie: 'but I don't want to'
Me: oh okay.
Clara: and can we see granny and grandpa?
Me: yes I think we can stay with them soon! Although
probably best not to hug them, I think, but I'm not sure *bangs head against
wall*
I've been feeling deflated, partly by dint of the cooler
weather, partly by the baby cutting molars with a resultant serious dip in the
sleep stakes.
Trying to stay well, mainly by not reading news articles
entitled 'the new swine flu', excercizing regularly and cutting out sweets and
chocolate for now (Sob).
Just getting through each day at this point.
Gradually dipping our toe into making plans to see family and friends, the baby turned one this past weekend and we celebrated it with my brother and his family which was lovely.

Leo celebrated it by learning how to throw things in the
toilet! (RIP landline).
weve also been discovering some more local walks and making some new equine friends.
Sending love and hoping that everyone else is enjoying some of the simpler pleasures in this new normal.
