Don't waste it!! |

He tells me they have taken three times as much so far this year than they did last year, even though there is still a quarter to go. It is hard to explain why but he suggested part of it is could be the amount people are saving by working at home rather than commuting into London. |

The commute to work and the social banter of a workplace is not insignificant in social well-being. |

It was great however to have a just a 30 second walk from breakfast chair to my PC. Now, I move my car, put my wife's car in it's place to keep the space on the road, then 15 minutes drive and a further 10 minutes to find a parking space, then up to 10 minutes to walk to the office. If I'm first in, then I carry out sanitising duties! |
