Hello! Wow, it has been another busy week and I can’t even think what we’ve been doing. Well, I can, but it all seems a blur of activity. Last Saturday I had eye surgery as a day patient at Manchester Eye Hospital. It took about 3 days to recover from that, although I was busy doing things during that time and resting in between.

It has been half-term this week, and my first real experience of it as a parent. My daughter’s pre-school was closed for the holiday, so I have been trying to juggle childcare and work commitments. Fortunately my husband’s shift pattern meant that he had four days off with us earlier this week, so that helped, although I couldn’t get much work done, partly because of my recovery from surgery.

Anyway, now I am getting back together again, and on Monday everything will (hopefully) return to normal. I can knuckle down to business, get on with things, and have a break from my little whirlwind of a daughter, adorable as she is!
