Thank you! He’s going to be the head of his own team, and probably a little before the norm for his age, but he’s so talented and works hard and it’s very well deserved. Plus a very nice wage increase which makes life a bit more pleasant in the current climate!

What does he do?
 
We had a lovely virtual forum meet this morning.
It was lovely to see people and chat, especially Hannah who joined from Australia.

Then later there was time for a brief stroll along the beach

The icing and the cherry on the cake was my husband, who was made redundant last week, telling me he has a new job in September.

A perfect day.

Sorry to hear about your husband being made redundant (I know how it feels), glad he has got a new job quickly.

Must be lovely to be able to go for walks along the beach in your downtime. The beach there looks a bit green though? I went to the beach today too, sadly no time for a swim to cool off.
 
The beach has been left to the greenery to do something positive environmentally, but cleared closer to the sea which you couldn’t see as well in the photos.
 
Is the greenery sea grasses and coastal plants then? Further up the coast in Lancashire I think there are some places where samphire grows, I've seen it on sale a few times up there.

I’m so pleased your husband has managed to get another job so quickly. That’s brilliant.

Went to the commonwealth games and watched England netball, brilliant game and actually really easy to get in and out of. My only complaint, food choices and queues, ridiculously long, glad we took sandwiches, expensive as you're a captive audience and it's all pizza/burger/chips etc but other than that it was a great evening.

We went to the first England women's T20 cricket match and I wish we'd taken sandwiches but just didn't think about it, plus we'd already eaten sandwiches for lunch. Overall the experience of live sport was amazing but I'll know for next time about the food prices.

I just did a bum and arm workout. Was a killer but I enjoyed it. I’m trying to see how I can fit in mini workouts in the week. It needs to be manageable when I go back to work.

Sounds very energetic in this heat.
Good for you.
Where do you go, or is is a DVD or online workout?

I hear you! Not much time for anything, term-time! I have a Pilates reformer that makes a great place to put out my school clothes for the next day! 🤪

Great news about your husbands new job. I bet that’s a relief for him.

I’m using an app that has a wide range of exercises, including stretching, HIIT and Pilates. I’m using the free parts of it (and the others I have).

@Ruth1 I’ve got my bike on a trainer but realistically speaking I think that will be for the weekends. Then other exercise (short and sweet) during the week. Have to figure it out.

When I’m in class - I like to walk around the kids as they work and mark over their shoulders. Now some would say - “There’s a good, attentive teacher, spending all of her time with the children!” I’m just getting more steps in! 🤣🤣
 
I used to live on the coast, I kind of miss it...but I don't miss the humidity. Summers were rough.

because we live on a 20 mile wide peninsula it’s always slightly cooler as we get the sea breeze, we rarely get humid days in summer, we do get damp winters though 😆

The humidity in Donaghadee was horrendous. 4am, I'd wake up drenched in sweat because the humidity was already 100% and it wouldn't drop again til the evening - then I'd go buy some fish and chips and sit on the harbour wall to eat it. Feels like a lifetime ago now lol.

Ahhh the south of England! Many a happy holiday I spent in Devon as a child. We went to Cockington and Wydecombe on the moors, where ponies would try to eat your cream tea! Beverly Park caravan site in Torquay. I loved the model village and Brixham! It’s a beautiful part of the world 🥰
