Been off sick from work with stress n anxiety but already not looking forward to going back in a few weeks ☹️

Laddo is getting bored now n got loads of school work to do so that’s a nightmare being head master to a 12 year old who wants to be on his PS4 all day ��

Anyway stay safe folks n take care
Feel for ya mate. My better half does all the schooling (Uni lecturer, so more qualified than myself), so I don’t have that worry. If it helps, she is at her wits end competing with the Xbox.

Today marks the 49th day for my work and schools closing, 7 blinking weeks! I work in youth justice, mainly Travellers, so ‘Zoom’ contact is pointless. It’s hard enough tracking down the ‘cherubs’ at the best of times. Paperwork takes how long it takes to write/type ‘No Contact’ 23 times.

We ran out of paint and any upcycling jobs and have been on the dry for what seems like forever (a week). Hardware stores are still closed here, but Builders Suppliers are still delivering but with minimal order system going on. So little odd jobs go undone.

It’s my lack of motivation that is getting me down. I can’t even take my Longbow out for a shoot, as all the Butts are closed. I don’t know any Farmers who’ll let me shoot in a field, Football pitches aren’t big or safe enough, and the GAA won’t let me near their grounds. Anyway, I don’t suppose that Archery is essential travel.

So yeah, bored off my head. Just have to remind myself that we are some of the lucky ones during these dreadful times. There must be thousands of families wishing that their lost loved ones could be sitting at home bored.

Chins up fella, hopefully, we’re another day closer to a vaccine.
