Messy Desk, Who Cares?

Photoshoot and photo editing of latest collection. Cold and rainy spring day.

Cleaned, tidied and submitted to the Homeworker Magazine. Warm and sunny spring day.
I write "Who cares?" in the title with an authority that doesn't really exist. To keep the peace, I have kept my cleaning and organization ticks under restraint. As I apologized to a contractor for the mess he was having to navigate, he casually said to me, "Don't worry, I live in my home, too." We are in week seven of lock-down and I'm starting to enjoy the benefits of more free time, more brain space, and less worry. Throughout the past two months my husband and I have chatted about how COVID-19 will change the world, from major changes like the instant launch of a worldwide mobile, digital workforce to smaller things like what actually living in your home looks like.

Are there things you have enjoyed about lock-down? Are there things you intend to keep within your schedule, mindset, or otherwise? Maybe develop COVID-19 resolutions?

Sneaking Out for a Run

I'm not crazy about sneaking out, but it's the only way I'm able to get a run in these days. Otherwise, it's "I want to go! I want to go!" followed by tantrums unimaginable prior to COVID 19.

I completed the Run for Heroes 5k challenge and donated £5 to NHS. If it is something you are interested in challenging yourself with, you can donate securely through Virgin Money Giving. Take a pic of yourself during your run, post it to Instagram stories, tag five of your friends, explain the 5k challenge and £5 donation, and watch the fun unfold.

Meditation, covid-style

Getting my yoga and meditation practice in during COVID-19 armageddon has been interesting. My eldest is home from school and is a constant noise maker. She can actually hum loudly while she eats, it's fascinating. My youngest is a copy-catter (word?) in the cutest sense of the word but I often find her crawling under my down dogs. And the dog is so enamored by my use of his kind's positions that he sits nearby wagging his tail, waiting for the opportune moment to lick my feet or sniff my bum. Any guru would probably say this is the perfect way to practice but I'm not so sure.... Maybe it'll be quieter tomorrow.

How is your practice coming along at this time? Any issues to relate?
