Working from home

Since I last wrote a post life has been a bit of a rollercoster. Well when I say a 'bit' I mean it's been totally manic. Last week my diary was full of meetings and teaching. On Saturday John, Lucy and I went to Suffolk for some walking and then back to the rat race in time for Monday. On Monday morning we received emails to ask us to prepare alternative assessments for our students who would be taking exams. Just in case! Then on Tuesday morning we heard that we would possibly pause face to face teaching by the end of the week and needed to make arrangements for remote teaching.  By the evening  so I need a quick trip to the fabric sho.face to face teaching had been paused and we had a rota for which staff would come in on different days so we could limit the number of staff in the building  from next Monday. Today the message was we needed to take everything we would need for working remotely with us at the end of the day. So now I am working from home for the foreseeable future. Since I need to use video links with students I need to set up an area at home where I can do this without risking being interrupted. So much to get prepared and so little time to organise it  But that will have to wait as tomorrow is my day off and I'm going to sew sew sew!


Tomorrow I'm going to make the second curtain and then I can get them up at the window. The first curtain has been sat on my desk waiting for its partner.



I also want to make new curtains for my bedroom. That's going to take a trip to the fabric shop but John thinks we should stay home. If they do restrict  travel in the near future then I won't be able to get the fabric so I'd like to go and get it tomorrow. I'm going to have extra time to sew since I won't waste time with travelling every day.

Although it's been manic I've still managed to do a little work on Constance. I had hoped to have her finished but I've been so tired by the time I get home. 

Oops I published this post instead of saving. Never mind I'll continue where I left off tomorrow.

Take care.

  2. There are so many changes happening all over the world just now, its quite a worry with that virus popping up everywhere. Lucky you can work from home, guess the internet set up may well be challenging? Take care and stay safe.
