Ā I really like working from home and I enjoy studying with the OU.Ā 

It gives me the opportunity to be flexible, and to find the right balance, between work life and family life.

I can see my family and I can do all my daily duties , like feed the cats,Ā  do my caring duties,Ā  look after my son, do the housework, shopping and so on.

I find the early morning is the best time to study because I have a lot more energy in the morning,Ā  so I keep aside the morning for studying with the OU,Ā  this includes learning the French language forĀ  the module L332. Language generally and doing translation among other tasks.

Ā I have to stop at some point to prepare the family meal, between my various tasks, but I really enjoy studying and taking in knowledge, thisĀ  makes my life varied and interesting!

In the afternoon,Ā  I try to makeĀ  time for a walk. I usually try to walk the circuit of my village where I live,Ā  to get some well needed exercise.

The evening is spent mainly with my family,Ā  but I sometimesĀ  can't stop myself from doing a little bit ofĀ  studying!Ā  or reading (study related) books especially if the TV doesn't interest me !

I like toĀ  unwind with the music on the radio, classic FM usually , last thing at night andĀ  just to relax a bit before sleeping, with a cup of cocoa.

Hope everyone is progressing well and having a bit of a break before the new term starts.
