No pre-work walk today.  It was pretty much straight to my desk at the kitchen table.  My day consisted of one call after another and by the end of the day I was really very weary and felt like I had achieved very little.  I nearly went into meltdown, when I emailed a guy for his number, so I could call him to get a little more clarity on the information he had provided.  He said no, it could only be done by holding a conference call, but thankfully another message came in and I no longer needed his advice.  Thank goodness.   Some people just make a difficult situation even more difficult.  Our IT was very slow today, which was also frustrating at times.  Our system couldn’t support video calls, only audio due to the strain.

I was very glad to turn my laptop off.  I may have had far too many calls, but I feel like I have achieved very little.  I eventually stepped outside for the first time at 18.25, and combined my period of exercise (a walk), with shopping for necessities – the butter I was unable to track down yesterday.  I got the last tub in the co-op.  They were only letting four people into the shop at a time, and  when I got to the till I had to handover my bag and let the assistant pack it, while I stepped away from the till.  She then stepped away when I paid.  I dare say we will get used to it.

TT and I are both very weary.  BB is playing a game and at least is in contact with his friends.  He has worked well again today – making great progress with his homeworking tasks.

Don’t think the UK Government, or any Government for that matter, has ever texted me before. Stay safe everyone.
