Teacher in Lockdown – First day back at school

So all the way through this weird pandemic time warp, I’ve been harping on about being stuck at home, teaching into a laptop, looking back at my own face, wondering if anyone can hear me, cares, is actually following along with workouts and sessions or if I’m just going totally mad!

Week 7- Teacher in Lockdown

Week 7 of a teacher in lockdown complete and what a different week in my world to last week. For no clear and apparent reason everything felt harder this week. That’s life I guess. The pre-lockdown world too had its ups and downs and perhaps that’s all it is. From the moment I logged in…
