A typical day


4.40am. Alarm goes off for Atkins to get up and leave for work at 5am. He is on morning shift this week. Rachel eventually goes back to sleep.


7.30am. Alarm goes off for Rachel. Yoga, breakfast. Leave for work at 9.15am.

10am. Arrive at work after eventually finding a petrol station with petrol. Traffic not too bad today.

10am-2pm. Work with the girls. Aerobics, timestables, reading, writing/grammar and a game.

2.45pm I pop into the local school where I have friends to discuss some bridal shower details. Again, happily, traffic wasn’t bad. The commute can take over an hour when it is.

3.15pm. Arrive home. Welcome home kiss from Atkins. We have power (although no water). Cup of tea. Happy.

3.15pm – 7.30pm. Around home. We discuss the guest list for the wedding. A friend of Atkins’ comes to visit. Two of the neighbours’ children come over to watch Brave. I look after the other neighbours’ baby for a while. We heat water to bathe. Make supper together (tomato and cucumber salad, sweet potato and soya pieces). Do some hand washing when the water comes back on.


7.30pm. Cuddle up in bed to watch a movie. As always, Atkins falls asleep before the end...
