Although the rate of deaths in the UK has slowed from over 31 per cent to 24 per cent, the UK’s rate is higher than Italy’s, Spain’s and France’s at similar stages in the outbreak. The government has also unveiled a five-point coronavirus action plan in a bid to achieve 100,000 COVID-19 tests per day by the end of April….. and who did this? Matt Hancock. Nice to see him back but I reckon he still looked a bit peaky! Can’t wait for Chris Whitty to return. He’s such a wise dude!
Millen was up in the night with an irritating rash so he ended up with us last night. Arushi and Eashan both went to sleep uber late, and Matt still wasn’t feeling well. So this basically equated to me being the only one awake in the house till about 10am! Well Luna too actually.
I also heard that Jo was going to be on BBC news today. Wow- check this out!
The lonely morning meant I cut an even lonelier figure doing Joe Wicks all by myself! But it was a good session again.
The rest of the morning was spent getting the kids moving , sorting out skiing refunds ( boo- realisation that we were due to actually be going the day after tomorrow) and general boring admin. As usual it was lunch time before we knew it and Matt, having rested all morning, made some yummy beetroot and feta samosas with Arushi! Very posh!
The afternoon was all a bit bizarre. Got a phone call from school- basically I’m being furloughed over the Easter hols and the first week of the summer term and then we will catch up after that…no major surprise and means the trust is better off financially – not sure how I feel as really don’t like the idea of not working but I guess at the mo it’s only for 3 weeks and 2 weeks of that is Easter. Anyway let’s see what happens.
I persuaded the children to go on a run as their lethargy was simply annoying me and they needed to some exercise desperately.
We had an early supper to have time for a game with Miss Amy and Matt! That was fun but cut short due to us wanting to watch the Nat Theatre’s free streaming of One Man Two Governors! It’s all go-go these nights!
Matt and I were lucky enough to see this play in real life… it was hilarious!
The evening was rounded off with a chat with Nursery Nutters which was lovely!
