Taking a break from Twitter until at least August. Need to reset my relationship with all things digital to focus on what really matters. I can be reached at the usual email address for council business. See you on the other side... or maybe not, who knows?

Just cancelled our Christmas bubble. Gutted not to see the kids, but there will be other Christmases. Bright side: as a Christian, it's getting easier and easier to focus on the faith aspect of Christmas when everything else is getting taken away. At least no-one can cancel that!

Just got my first self-isolation notice. Staying at home until next Tuesday night. Amazon-free Christmas just got a bit more challenging!

CONFIRMED: If you've been made redundant, you can be rehired and furloughed by your employer if you were employed as of 23 Sept, and on the payroll on or before 30 Oct.
It won't work for many, but many be worth asking for some.

Husband is a GP. Today is supposedly a half day. 8:30-17:40 and he's still there... I don't normally use Twitter for personal moans like this, but it's getting worse and it's not even winter. It has never been this bad this early.
