Hopefully we'll see some changes to working practices. People will realise that you don't have to be in the office all the time.

Good to see Macron look after his nation though. Businesses protected as well as the population. Good work.

Was thinking the same and it would fix alot of current issues (y) congestion and emissions being the most obvious.

Hope your right.

There have been some good images coming out of this crisis. Satellite photos showing pollution going. Birds coming back into Chinese cities. Dolphins swimming in empty Italian harbours. People singing from balconies.

I watched the one where they're singing from balconies. It made me hungry for ice cream.

Both kids reporting headaches and upset stomach. No other symptoms. I'm not taking a chance so they're both at home.

Apparently I'm business critical so have to go into the office.

I don't like being important let alone critical. It is concerning me slightly with the numbers of people coming down from London and I can't find any solid advice as to whether I am more at risk being an asthma sufferer.

Just had an email from work that they are majorly demanning, from 110 to about 40. Critical Ops only. Unfortunately I’m Ops. They aim to have one person per room. Currently 2 floors are 2 man rooms and one floor is 4 man rooms.

They are working on an exemption for self isolating on return but part of that agreement may include strict isolation in Darwin prior to mobilisation.

But that’s email number 6 today, seems to change every couple of hours almost.

The fine for not having the form or being out when you should not be is now €135 per person.

I would have a form for each dog and in triplicate, the way you seem to attract old bill.

I attract the old bill??!! :D

Saying that, knowing my luck i'd get done somewhere :D I have just printed out a load. I need to carry a new form for every day i'm walking them too. France is ace at generating paper. |(

I may be going shopping - every day and on my bike (bandit)
