Day 18 in the Steven Roberts House!

Well, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. I’m still going from task to task and found myself getting a little annoyed when I couldn’t connect to the internet or access my files as quickly as I wanted to today. Then I said – why the rush? So, it felt right to stop, breathe and have a doughnut and a cup of tea! I think I need to be joining the PE with Joe sessions, but maybe the one for seniors, which seems a little less intensive. I don’t want to peak too soon! Being settled in my own mind and being content is helping me deal with this new situation; but I guess it is going to be different for everyone. After all no-one is untouched by any of this. I am overwhelmed by the support that all of my communities are showing each other. I am also trying to keep in touch with as many as people as possible! I have even taken to ringing people – now there’s a novelty! I am not sure it is going to catch on. One thing is absolutely certain, that what defines us as humans is our compassion and support for each other. There are many unsung heroes simply getting on with supporting families, businesses, colleagues, friends, neighbours, parents, pupils –  each and everyone deserve our thanks and there are literally too many to mention. I would like to think the applause last night for our wonderful NHS was for everyone, it certainly felt like it to me! I had a couple of hours of escapism yesterday too and watched Mary Poppins Returns, followed by a glass or two of wine! I hope that everyone I know stays safe and well and can find some element of peace or routine.
