It is 08.00 am on Friday 4th June 2021, two hundred and seventy-six days from the start of the 2020 – 2021 school year.
This has been largely a week of consolidating our gains, easing the foot off the pedal a bit in order to catch our breath, and tightening up on our weekly timetable so that it has a less randomly chaotic feel about it. Being flexible is OK in principle, but messes about with the amount of productive time we have to carve out somehow from each available day!

So, where do we go from here?
Other than to stay local and chase down whatever nice places we can find that will actually relax us, uplifts, makes us feel normal and human again? At the moment, it is just yet something else to tease and annoy us in our sleepless night-time moments.
