3 more weeks of lockdown, as announced by Dominic Raab, who has been deputised to act on behalf of Boris Johnson to act as Prime Minister. All of the journalists keep asking the same question in different ways "What is going to happen after the lockdown is over?" And the answer is always the same "We can't say yet what it will look like because we are looking at the science to make decisions about the steps after the three week period has passed." They should be asking about testing and PPE and things like that.
So that means at least 3 more weeks of WFH and home schooling. My guess is that the schools may go back in the beginning of June, which would mean the kids would have their last term of school, which would be good for all of them. The kids were really excited for lockdown at the beginning, but now they are all saying that they can't wait to go back to school. Lauren I think is missing her independence of getting herself to and from school and seeing her friends, and Alison is just missing her friends. I think Drew doesn't mind the homeschool so much, but he is missing his friends as well.
As far as Brad WFH, I think it may extend out even longer because they have gotten accustomed to working from home. The kids have been very respectful of his use of the reception room for calls and such, which is good.
I am going to think optimistically about the adjustment back to school and normal routine next week. This weekend, we will set out a time table for Drew and Alison for next week, and I will let Lauren continue to get on with her timetable. Hopefully she will PE this time. Lauren has taken up residence in Alison's room for the last two weeks, as well as Reni. That will have to come to an end tonight so that it will feel more like normal routine. They tried to get Drew to have a sleepover as well, but he wasn't have any of that craziness!!!
