A fresh start or more of the same?

Is it me or are the days going really quickly? I write this now at 7:10pm and it seems like I only just got up.  

I can’t help but think that the carving up of the normal working day into two 3 3/4hr slots means that we over compartmentalise the day even when it isn’t constrained by clocking in and out. The net result is that it is 5pm and tea time before you know it and another day has passed when you realise the kids have had too much screen time again!

We are trying to get out once a day (in our family bubble) so that this isn’t the case. It seems to take such a long time to get the smaller members of the family up, dressed and fed not to mention, motivated - it is turning into quite an art!  However, it is all worth it once they are out...(see pic!)

We discovered a really good app called AllTrails that lists loads of good walks in your local area, and so far it hasn’t disappointed.   Despite having lived around here for most of my life  we have discovered routes that were previously unknown, and they are all do-able even for the smallest member of the team!!

So what is my resolution? To try and think a bit more about each day as it passes and to commit an image and some words to paper as a record...Blip seems as good a place as any to do this.  I have been on here in the past and always struggled with the pressure to ‘get my blip in’ with the net result that sometimes the entry is crap.  This year, that doesn’t matter - it is the thought (and a little action) that counts.

Happy New Year and good luck for 2021
