When I first blogged at the start of the lockdown, along with everyone, I longed to be free to hit the high street and shop till I dropped. But that is not how I feel today now that I can. In trying to analyse where the urgency has gone, I think there are a several […]

As the human equivalent of a hamster who has been (happily) turning her wheel for a very long time, one of the worst prospects when lockdown was announced was wondering what I would do with all the inevitable spare time. Who was I kidding! All those household jobs I had mentally lined up, remain undone. […]

I wrote a blog four weeks ago at the start of the lockdown. My main observation – more gut reaction than fact – was that we should expect, and prepare for, a new ‘normal’ when we were free to make choices again. It was my view that the world would change and adapt in unforeseen […]

In common with most people, it is hard to recall a more extraordinary period in my life. 3 weeks ago, we were packing up the office and closing the door for an indeterminate time.

Eeeek! I’ve shrunk… One week in from starting WFH and I realise I am only a quarter of the person I once was.  I get up in the morning, shower and I do my make-up. I tease my hair as best I can. I get dressed and with the dog, my incomparable friend, head off […]

Post lockdown what sort of world awaits? For sure it is never going to be the same again.
