First day working from home….albeit Ballyferriter

It’s a small house so two of us settling down to “work from home” was always going to be tricky. It’s hard enough in Beckenham where we have some to make our own but in the wee teach that is Carrigeen it was harder. Not that himself is overly bother, I however have lost the patience to work at close quarters with others and am not inclined to rebuild that strength or skill.


Which meant that by mid-afternoon I was wandering around saying “we are here for 7 weeks so let’s set me up somewhere semi-permanent” And before you know it there was a little shifting of furniture around. 

The smallest room in the house that we’d converted into a study and dumping… sorry storage area had two desks in it.  

The obvious course of action was to move one of the desks to another part of the house and set me up there. Himself had already settled into the big desk and working nicely so the little red desk was mine. 

So before long we had reorganised the study into what now looks like a proper work area with it's very own armchair and we have the ability to print documents. Whilst I am upstairs on the landing with my own desk and am amazing view.

By 5pm himself is finished his days work and if working in London would normally be aiming to
catch the 5.15pm or 5.30pm out of Victoria and heading home. Whereas he finishes up at 5pm and oh look he is home by 5pm.  Into the car we hop and down off to the local beach for a walk albeit a little wrapped up. A glorious walk of an hour along the beach was refreshing for the soul as much as for the body.

It was a busy beach as you can see, although we did spot one other living creature on it, some sort of crow like bird. Not 100% sure what this is and we are thinking we might need to brush up on our ornithologist skills if we are going to be doing this every evening.
