Now that Dave is working, I'm trying to get myself into a routine. For the last 10 weeks since we've been here, we've led a rather lovely, relaxed life. Getting up mid morning, doing any required housework and then venturing into town for a latte or looking after the grandchildren or exploring pastures new and spending money! Now, I'm pretty much stuck here. Town is a couple of miles away but there's a handy bus I can catch if I don't want to walk it.
So I'm trying to establish some sort of timetable for what I do when. Housework is obviously a daily job. Making the bread is usually every three days or so. I'm planning on going out with Dave a couple of days a week as it's a good way to see the sights around here....Wales on Friday! This week I've been restricted a little as yesterday and today I've had meetings to attend at my new school. Really enjoyed going into school yesterday and meeting new people. Introduced myself to the Reception/Year 1 teacher and offered my voluntary services. Can't wait to get in there but my CRB check is still not through.
I still, even now, find it hard to believe that this is it. This is my life now. I'm still caught up in that mindset where you plan out what you're doing over a week....trying to get things done because it's back to work the following week. It's a very strange feeling and not something I've known since Tom was a baby (he's 27 in June!).

Hope your CRB comes through quickly. Sounds as though it will be so enjoyable there :) The bread sounds nice - I made some today in our machine (the first time in an age) and we scoffed about half a loaf between us to eat with the soup I made yesterday :) There must be a lot to explore locally, it sounds ideal if you can go with Dave. I've got an image of you sailing down a country lane on a bike rather than catching the bus :)
