October 6th

I've been back at work now for the last 3 weeks and it feels great to be getting back to normal again. I'm still settling in and feeling tired from the travel and from using my brain again! But it's great to have the opportunity of going back part-time initially to get used to working life again.

I travel to Kettering on Monday mornings, work two days in the office, stay overnight & travel back to Swindon on Tuesday evenings. I take Wednesdays & Fridays off and work from home on Thursdays so it works out really well. It makes such a difference to have a very understanding employer & I'm very grateful to RCI for allowing me to work part-time and for all their support over the last few months.

On my days off I try to go swimming and have been able to do 40 to 50 lengths each time. It's good to get some exercise & stretch my arm....as well as relaxing in the jacuzzi & steam room :) We've also been playing badminton with Ashley & Nicky once a week too which has been great fun.
