Two months have passed since the last blog. Seems like long enough of a break. I'd been cheating by putting a 'holding' post in by email at the end of the day, and then going back and filling something in later, and gradually getting more of a backlog of 'fillers' was accruing. A sure sign that it was time for a break!
And what has happened in the two months since last posting? I've ventured back to the office on a part-time basis, although it will be interesting to see how long that lasts with case numbers well and truly back on the increase. Nicky and I enjoyed an excellent short break away in North Norfolk, staying in a B&B in Thursford, visiting some new places, meeting up with Caroline and Tony, and having lunch in Norwich with Daisy. Jake and Izzy are both back for their final years, albeit in remote learning mode - Jake from home and Izzy from her Greenwich / Lewisham flat. Jake's first couple of assessed pieces of work have gone well, so he seems to be in good spirits about year 3 and knows what he need to do to achieve his desired outcome. Teaching seems to have picked up a bit - after Nicky putting out feelers, Jake seems to have a few new pupils about to start, which will help with supplementing his income.
All ok, just keeping an eye on those case numbers ...
