Restarting after eight months away and braced for a judgement that has not come from anybody.

Week one and it is the not knowing whether this is normal that is hardest.

Peronel Sending you a quiet nod from a very rainy part of the country.

Week one, night shifts, and I could not work out which day my week began.

I would tell somebody in week two that the third day after a step is the honest one.

KezWigan, UK

Week one going better than I feared. Mild everything. Waiting for the catch.

PipBristol, UK

Started this week and I have not told my mother and I do not think I will.

DelphiThessaloniki, GR

I would say: the obvious question is the right question, and nobody here sighs.

Perrin Sorry it was flat. Flat weeks count as weeks.

OdileMontreal, CA

Week one going better than I feared. Mild everything. Waiting for the catch.

Week one and it is the not knowing whether this is normal that is hardest.

I would change how much I read at 2am.

JontyOxford, UK

What I would change: I would have asked about a slower schedule on day one.

Birdie B That sounds like something to raise this week rather than at the next review.

YannickBrussels, BE

Nothing yet. Nobody warned me that nothing happens at first.
