In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 22 (Friday)

Posted on November 27, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

Foggy and cold here, with the sun just starting to break through by 10am. I thought I had booked on to to a webinar about one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but it seems I hadn’t. A shame. … Continue reading →

In the time of the virus: mark 2 day 19 (Monday)

Posted on November 25, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

Lots of pottering around catching up with household jobs, and cooking. A local walk down to the river and back, this time together. Best of all, another baby (7th grandchild for our friends in Denmark, and their first boy). While … Continue reading →

In the time of the virus: back to life, back to reality

Posted on July 25, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

Monday was a success.  I had the operation and was home by lunchtime.  True, I spent most of the rest of the day in a dark room listening to podcasts, but such a relief.  The staff at the hospital were, … Continue reading →

In the time of the virus: and another day

Posted on July 15, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

I am so very tired.  No energy to write much again today.  It seems to be a pattern, where I’m fine for the early part of the day, then slump around 4pm, after which not much gets done. Today I … Continue reading →

In the time of the virus: an ordinary day

Posted on July 14, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

A quick post today, as I’ve been busy all day and didn’t get anything written along the way. Today was an ordinary day, which is to say that as we’re still self-isolating we must of necessity keep ourselves to ourselves. … Continue reading →

In the time of the virus: day 100

Posted on July 1, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

So.  Here we are, on the 100th day of this series.  What a timespan; what an extraordinary experience to look back on.  Though I fear it may not feel quite so extraordinary when looked back on from a more distant … Continue reading →

In the time of the virus: day 98 (Monday)

Posted on June 29, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

My Monday morning meeting with myself was productive, but reminded me just how much I need to fit into this week.  Lots of urgent jobs that need to be jobbed, plus several fun arrangements too (depending how the weather turns … Continue reading →

In the time of the virus: day 95

Posted on June 26, 2020 by deborah @ the magic jug

Today was the first time since lockdown we visited one of our very favourite gardens – Heale Garden.  The weather was hot but there were enough shady places to sit in the garden to make it feel just perfect.  As … Continue reading →
