TMTW: February 2021

What happened:
More of the same nothingness, really! Mum had her first jab, we decided to park the house viewings until the stamp duty holiday situation is clearer, and we continued to work from home. Thrilling!

Coronavirus diary: Week 43


Monday 4 January

Back to work today and, nope, I really didn't want to. It was so lovely to return our home to our home and not live in the work-home hybrid of the previous 9.5 months. (Though very grateful I don't have to commute in the dark, freezing weather. And obviously just reacting to having twelve lovely days of doing exactly what I want.)Read more »

The year that was: 2020

What happened:
Well. It was not the year I was expecting, that's for sure. What a rollercoaster. (And the fun's not over yet!) 2020 started really well for me though as I started my new job - I'm so grateful that I made that move because I'm not sure my mental health would have coped at my old workplace.

The month that was: December 2020

What happened:
The most festive time of year! Even if things looked a little different in December 2020 and didn't go quite to plan because of, yet again, tier changes.

Lisbon: River Tagus sunset cruise

Taking a cruise down the River Tagus is something I'd highly recommend you do if you ever find yourself in Lisbon. (Though it might depend on the time of year you are visiting!) There are plenty of companies that offer this sort of trip, but the idea of a vintage sailboat and reviews mentioning lots of free-flowing wine sold this one to me!
