I don't want to imagine what it's like on the roads right now. And I've been just bone tired... Pulled the pin and asked to wfh and got it. Crisis averted. As much as I like going in to meet people I'm very much grateful for the option of not rushing off half asleep and being able to ease my way back in. We'll just discuss what we need to on Teams.

Only downside is I dont have a second monitor after giving back my old one to my former workplace... not enough to get me out today :|

It was busier than usual.

In one suburb it was bin day, saw several bins lying on the road blocking a lane with rubbish strewn everywhere.

The regular daily 6am trip was otherwise completely normal.

Are you otherwise feeling ok this morning?

Definitely better now that I've had sustenance and some green tea and been able to take it slow. The sound of the wind is distracting but I think wfh was a great idea today rather than piling everything on in one go

Wonderful to hear, looks like the Japan trip was great for you.
