A YEAR OF CONTEMPLATION AND UNEXPECTED SURPRISES

It’s fascinating to realise that at the peak of the pandemic, more than 2 billion people were under some form of lockdown. And 91% of the world’s population live in countries where border controls or travel restrictions were implemented due to the virus.

Trying to work out how to teach the children, when I have no idea whatsoever what they’re meant to be doing, or how they’re meant to be doing it, and confirming the suspicion that my children have of me that I am actually clueless... all while trying to stick to deadlines and have online video conferences and meetings and praying that the dog won’t bark and the children try to keep their arguments and scuffles at a low volume.

As I start moving back to the office on a part time basis, I find myself looking for ways to keep my family time intact. I am making sure I keep my wood pallet building and gardening time as part of my regular schedule and keeping the relationships I have built through lockdown intact. But I am also excited to be go-karting again and meeting with friends and family in person, all safely social distanced of course.
