Not a chance, it's an open-plan office, with no barriers between any of the desks. Even the higher managers sit in this open area, i.e. there are no walled-off offices like there used to be. It's all very modern and inclusive, so if anyone gets the virus, we're all stuffed.

Our office is also like that. On the positive side, there is lots of toilet roll in the cleaners cupboard.

The lady whose husband has just returned from Italy isn't in - he's been told to self isolate, NHS said for her to carry on and go into work until/if she gets symptoms. She may have decided its safer to work from home.

the last office I worked in, up to January this year was the same, 100 people on the floor and I had to walk past 96 people to get to my desk!

She is in. Apparently she's talking to her husband behind closed doors. If he is poorly, not exactly sure how isolating in the same house will work - 😷

My council tax plus water and sewage has gone up this year by a massive £37. Electricity is also going up, probably by a similar amount and coal is also costing more. Not been told about ferry fares yet but price rises are also likely at the start of the summer season.

Today I will be mostly panic buying Neapolitan Ice Cream and Pirelli tyres

I have lent all my digital cameras to the local Uni for professors to make videos of class sessions for students. I have a couple of elderly Nikons which don't make video, and they can handle the pressing needs of my media empire.
Well, really, just this.

Righty ho. Incoming!!!

Sorry about the delay. I got distracted planning my next art project... I'm thinking Hot Rods... George Polley or Barry Lee?

306 & 351 respectfully. Frequent racers at Foxhall Heath which is about 8 miles up the road from me. I used to bike there on Sunday racedays as a youth.

BTW, did you enjoy the gig, @Jenkins ?

However when chatting with the hotel receptionist about why I was there, she commented "Oh, my dad listens to them a lot"!.
I now feel very old...

Morning.
It is sunny here at the moment .
I wondered what that rattling on the roof was ! Some biscuits must have strayed .

If they're custard creams, forward them in this direction!

Black bin day .
Oh and my it's chilly outside.

We're having a log burner installed, front door has been open all week & now there's a hole in the wall.

What's odd about a hole in the wall, most doors require one.

According to my inbox, Discount Coffee are giving their first 50 customers; who spend more than £40; a free face mask.

Apparently, late or tightfisted customers can go to hell

Shame you have to take them off to drink coffee

In a moment of impressive incompetence, I've managed to get super glue all over my index finger.
