Monday, the return to earth and the joys of the world of IT. An early morning call from a friend is very welcome and it is good to hear how the recovery from COVID is going. It is a slow process but at last it seems to be gaining pace. I spend the day reviewing new evidence for Tuesdays accreditation review of a TC service. There is a telephone call in the afternoon for the team to discuss the review. My evening was spent trying to sort some of Christmas out. Thankfully Amazon deliver to Stockholm which makes it easier to get things to my son and grandchildren in Sweden. I go to bed tired and frustrated that I cannot get into my web pages as there has been a security issue at WordPress. I try to follow the instructions sent to me but they do not work, or I do not work, either way I went to bed miffed.

Tuesday, I am up in the shower quickly. Today is a review day, so its coffee and toast and then I am into the world of Teams and doing an accreditation review for the day. I am recognised by one of the residents from a previous job, always a bit tricky, but it went by okay. All day I listened, asked questions and conferred with colleagues. It is exhausting trying to listen to a room of people on Teams and hear both the said and the unspoken. I get to the end of the day and I am very tired. I make notes and then spend my evening continuing to organise things for my partners birthday and Christmas. I try to get into the website and get success at last. The format has changed and there is a new navigation system, so it takes a while. Tomorrow is another busy day, a meeting and then I am running a training session. This is so far from my experience of last week, it is a rude awakening. I’ve not trained yet and my body is letting me know, I need to do something soon.
