We woke up feeling like death, and grabbed a glass of water from downstairs. Alex went straight to work on the sofa to write his policy memo, he had a deadline of 1330 and needed to write nearly all of it by then. Leila made him coffee and toast to keep him going. She sat outside with coffee and FaceTimed her grandmas, and then went through her to-do list for the day. (She also did some work, which was unfair given it was a holiday)
In the afternoon, Leila had a call with Ravi and Ruki which she really enjoyed. Alex was getting stressed about feeling like he had too much work to do and not enough time. He had a bit of a chill for an hour but then lectures started at 1500 and he was then back to back until 1930. He then had calls with Matt H, Dave & Will (The Girton boys) and Hannah and Sam E (the MPAID crew) on either side of dinner.
Leila made healthy Banana muffins which included spelt flour and no added sugar, but she added chocolate to Alex’s which he loved and experimented with some frozen raspberries in some (Bit soggy) and tahini in others. She also read her book for 2 hours in the loft room which was dreamy because it was beautiful outside and light until 8pm. She then made a quick low effort spinach, pea and pesto spaghetti dish for dinner because they were both tired
They had planned to go to sleep super early but they ended up chatting about how they thought and the roles they had in the house and Leila’s conversation with Vyoma.
