Turns out even dogs suffer from lockdown overwhelm Turns out even dogs suffer from lockdown overwhelm 🙃. How is it that we have less to do in many ways (ignore the small matter of homeschooling) but every little thing takes so much out of us? 

Last week I felt like I had lost any sense of routine and therefore order. At the beginning of this week I decided to put in some small changes like going to bed before 11 with a good book (instead of my phone), getting up at the same time every day, starting with prayer/journaling. I’ve even cut down on my alcohol consumption (can’t guarantee how long that will last but it’s a start 👍🏻).

Now I just need Gogglebox back on our screens and I’ll be happy! Friday nights are really not the same without it 😞. How has your week been?

My #bestnine of 2020. What a year! If I had to cho My #bestnine of 2020. What a year! If I had to choose three words to sum it up, I think they would be: disappointment, contemplation, rollercoaster. But looking at these pics, I can see that we’ve made the most of the situation we’ve found ourselves in. 

Over to you...what are your three words to describe 2020?
