Alternative reality....

[Thumbtoestofu]

I’ve just got home from a pub lunch with friends and babies. As the sun is out we decided to sit in the beer garden, and share a glass of wine. Now I’m going to have a nap, whilst the baby has a snooze.

In your alternative reality, what are you doing?

Please keep it lighthearted, I get that it might be sad to think about these things, but I find joy in knowing I will be able to do them again.

The beach looks like a summer's day from my window. I am taking dpuppy for her first swim..
Will get us an ice cream on the way home..

I'm packing for our holiday and have made a list of all the attractions we're going to visit.
DC is on a school trip and I am having a night out with friends.

I'm on my way home from school with the kids. We see the ice cream van and decide to get some as the sun is out and it's such a lovely day.

DS has just come bouncing home from school with a couple of his mates. The ice-cream van came past so they're all in the garden eating 99s and talking/shouting about something hilarious along the lines of 'who farted in Science?' I'm making pasta for tea and then he's off to cadets, and we'll take the dog for a sunset walk along the pier once we've dropped him off,

Ice-cream is a great call, now I’ve had my nap I’m going to dig a magnum out the freezer.

Holidays and beaches sound lovely.

I'm looking forward to the end of term tomorrow ( in UAE), then mum and dad coming out to stay with us for two weeks. If only..

I've just returned from baby massage a only one week left of the course and DD is much improved with her sore crampy tummy. Made plans to meet up with some of the other mums for lunch in the park tomorrow and let the babies get to know each other. Now getting ready for a dinner date with DH as the weather is so lovely - really settling into the maternity leave lark ...

I'm dicking about on MN, while DH is being irritating watching shit on the TV. Oh wait, that's actually both realities

I'm body boarding in my new wetsuit, and then going to the cafe at the beach. After that DGS is stopping the weekend and we're going to Alnwick to see the cherry blossom.

I am at my friends house and we’re off tomorrow morning for a weekend away in a fabulous European destination. That is literally what would have been happening right now. We were so excited about it!

We're packing for our holiday to Portugal on Monday and are looking forward to seeing 8 and a half month pregnant dd and the two little grand children on Saturday. I'm at work having a laugh with my colleagues and enjoying helping the vulnerable housed people I work with..

in reality, holiday cancelled, 2 year old grand daughter most likely has cv according to the doctor who saw her yesterday and pregnant dd is unlikely to her her homebirth or even have her dp at hospital when she does give birth. And I'm frantically trying to work from home calling all my residents and trying to get food and supplies to them.
