Hanneke’s Story

I am starting to feel more energised and normal again after a post Easter (and pandemic!) slump. I think I’m a’ good enough’ mum who has been able to encourage and let go during the assessment period for Nat5.

Background

On my nightstand you will find …    I’m currently reading and nearing the end of Lynda la Plante’s ‘Wrongful Death’.

A podcast I am listening to is …    I tend to catch up on the Radio 4 News Quiz whilst tidying the house.

A book that has changed my life (other than the Bible) is …   Surprised by Hope by Tom Wright helped me piece a lot of theological thoughts and spiritual intuitions together.

A TV show I binge watch …   During the winter lockdown it was Line of Duty. I’m a big fan of the Great British Sewing Bee, but it’s sadly now finished again.

I follow — on—

I only follow friends and colleague on Facebook and Instagram.  I don’t like Twitter and don’t need reasons to get more worked up over stuff! I do read the BBC News website along with three other papers online.

Music that lifts my mood is­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­…   I don’t have ‘go to’ music for mood lifting, but if I’m very stressed or busy in my head, I like to put on Einaudi piano music. I find it soothing and calming.

One thing I have learned about myself during the past couple of weeks is…   I am starting to feel more energised and normal again after a post Easter (and pandemic!) slump. I think I’m a’ good enough’ mum who has been able to encourage and let go during the assessment period for Nat5.
