Me too Gail, I missed it once it was all over. The emotions during this lockdown certainly have me guessing! Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend. xx

I’m recording everything but the longer this goes on, the more concerned I am that my blog has gone a bit rogue/niche! I literally can’t think about anything else at the moment though. Just don’t watch Normal People with any teenagers in the room!

We need decent fibre broadband! Ours is so bad and it’s on my list to organise but I’m nervous to be without wifi if it goes horribly wrong 🙁 I thought after writing my list that I should have added coffee too. My mid-morning coffee is a nice ritual that keeps me on the straight and narrow. Thank you so much for reading my post and being so kind about the content. I’m always nervous about writing something so personal but I hope it helps others who might find themselves in a similar situation.

Hi Suzanne, thrilled that you saw your daughter! Since writing this, I have seen her once, just for 30 minutes and socially distanced, as you say. It was better than nothing though. Hers is more of a ward within a hospital so yes, probably slightly different rules. Hope that you’re managing to keep your head above water at work. xx

Those crumpets with marmite and cheese sound very tasty — I may have to give them a try!
My own lockdown survival kit:
The morning sun shining through my bedroom window.
Fibre broadband, to which I recently upgraded. (Foresight? No, simply coincidence.)
Various radio stations, most of them via the internet.
Various coffees. (My two favourite coffees aren’t available, but I’ve found acceptable alternatives.)
Various cheeses, including goat cheese.
Avocados and plums. (Looking forward to apricots.)

It’s truly excellent news that both you and Mr W can visit your daughter at the weekend.
Your post on myfamilyourneeds.co.uk was typically courageous. Your daughter is fortunate to have you as her mother and her advocate.
