MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Summer
Last week I was worried about the neighbours getting ready to party, but even though they were loud they stopped before midnight. Yay! But sleep has still been difficult because of the heat…phew! This weekend it’s supposed to be cooler, I’m looking forward to that, but I also hope it’s not the end of the hot weather as the summer holidays begin.
We had a sad start to the holidays with the Little Man in self isolation when his bubble broke. First up he was heartbroken that he was going to miss all the fun things they had planned. Then he got sick, a dry cough and a raging temperature. I was so worried I got him tested with a PCR covid test. The boy who has tested positive for Covid is the Little Man’s best friend who he sat next to at school. Thankfully, the test came back quickly and he was given the all clear. Phew, it was like we had dodged a bullet.
His last few days of the summer term were done online but they had loads of interaction and he enjoyed seeing his teacher and friends on the screen. The end of term party was heart breaking though and the Little Man ended up in tears. He couldn’t go to school but his Dad fetched his school leavers t-shirt and yearbook. He also had an autograph book with no way of collecting autographs.
Summer break has now begun and soon we will be going to the seaside. I want to keep everyone home so we can stay healthy enough to go. If we get pinged now we will be heartbroken. What a strange situation to be in. We are only going to Dorset and have arranged to meet up with family members we’ve not seen for a couple of years now. Other than that we will be keeping to ourselves and just enjoying a change of scenery.
I’ve a million and one things to worry about at home but I’m hoping I can put them to one side just for one week. Fingers crossed.
I’m also hoping we can get the pool filled today. I know we are supposed to be saving water, but if there is rain on the way this weekend then we best get a day or two out of it.
What are your plans this summer?
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
Such a shame Little Man had to miss the end of year celebrations. This time has been so hard on some many children. I hope you enjoy your holiday in Dorset and meeting family.
Oh poor Little Man 🙁 Hopefully the weather will get a little cooler and sleep will be easier to find! Enjoy your holiday!k
I’m sorry Little Man missed out on his last few days. So many end of terms have fizzled out without the celebrations they deserve. Thank goodness his test came back negative and I have my fingers crossed that no-one else in your family catches anything. Dorset is so beautiful. I hope you have a lovely time.
Such a bitter-sweet week. I’m feeling it for Little Man but I hope he will have a great summer nonetheless. I was panicking a bit when I thought he had also caught covid!
Thank goodness for his result. Do be careful and stay safe. Enjoy the holiday making memories with your family.
That is great that your neighbours behaved themselves. My noisy neighbours have gone away on holiday. Hooray! It’s been grey and damp here today but still warm. Cooler than it has been though.
Aww! Your poor Little Man. I am so glad the test was negative. What a worry for you and so sorry he missed his last few days of school.
I hope you have a fab trip away.
We don’t have much planned. I think we are just going to take next week to relax and do very little. x

It’s been so hard to sleep in this heat. I’m glad it’s cooled down a bit but it would be nice to have some more warm weather and sunshine for the school holidays. Poor Little Man – what a shame to end primary school having to isolate. Hope he is feeling better now – what a relief that the test was negative. Keeping everything crossed for you for being able to go on holiday. #WotW
It looks like we are safe for our holiday so far, yay. I can’t wait now. And the Little Man is feeling better x
I’m so sorry Little Man was sick, but so glad his PCR test came back negative. Hope no-one else in your family caught whatever he had. I really hope it won’t be the end of the hot weather indeed, but also hope it won’t be too hot to sleep.

He’s feeling better now, although he was kind enough to share his sickness with me. We are both on the mend and looking forward to our holiday
It’s been soooooo hot! I’m so glad it has cooled down a little now.
So sorry to hear that little man missed his leaving day, what a shame.
I hope you have a lovely holiday to make up for it. x
I’m sure we will have a lovely holiday even if it rains. I just can’t wait to be near the sea again. x
It’s so sad to read that Little Man didn’t get to enjoy the end of the school year with all his friends. I hope your summer break happened and you were able to cheer him up a bit. I’m glad the party didn’t go on for hours. Trying to sleep in the heat was a nightmare! #WotW
