It's already that time again ... with all the uncertainty around things we normally take for granted like going to work, being able to meet friends, take off when we want ... my final CiCLA exam is looming. It feels so strange that the course I started almost a year ago is almost drawing to a close. Who knew then the circumstances which we find ourselves in now and if someone had told me, would I have believed it?

With so many affected by this horrible virus, keeping the 'normal' is something I can control. So I'm going to try to be like a swan, I'm going to stay calm, but underneath, I'm going to be paddling for all I'm worth!

Stay safe.
