The first image in my new, regular series (I hesitate to say weekly, I may not be *that* organised!!). Over the coming weeks, while we’re homeschooling, I’m going to take a photo and then Helen and Izzy will edit it under my guidance.

I spotted this empty railway line while travelling to a nearby supermarket earlier in the week. It was quite misty (something that doesn’t come through in the image) and I liked the perspective. Anyway, the girls and I had a go at improving the picture, paying particular attention to the sky.

It also seemed quite poignant as that railway line would often be busy taking commuters to and from London. Needless to say, there are presently fewer trains so it’s much quieter.

Expect more images edited by Helen and Izzy in the weeks to come! If you visit the blog you’ll find before and after shots, should you be interested.

AD A car pic! Nothing to do with #covid_19 !! So yeah, earlier this week I was test driving a @toyotauk C-HR hybrid.

Great car for driving about town. Also had some great features as standard such as heated steering wheel and heated front seats plus loads of safety systems.

Alas, our time together was cut short because, you guessed it, coronavirus stopped play! The vehicle had to be collected early so I didn’t get a full week with the C-HR but a write up will be on the blog soon.

Even in the midst of this #covid19 outbreak, the NHS was there for me. We should treasure this institution and all who work in it.

A PC World salesman said something inspirational to me at the weekend. He didn’t realise it was inspirational...but it was!

I was ordering a laptop for Helen, my oldest daughter. This guy happened to remark that laptops were in short supply because managers were buying them up in big numbers for their staff.

I pondered over this and realised that #covid19 could, just possibly, lead to positive change in the workplace. With self isolation becoming more commonplace, schools inevitably about to close and travel becoming more and more difficult, many more employers will have to embrace flexible working and remote working practices. In fact, I think it’s fair to assume some businesses will only survive because their staff work flexibly over the coming months.

I see potential for real change in the UK’s working culture. If people work successfully from home or non-traditional hours or non-traditional work patterns and it works well for employers, managers will hopefully be a lot more open to flexible working requests from staff.

What do you think? Is there a silver lining to the coronavirus chaos?
More on the blog if you follow the link in my bio.

Oh, and why the gas mask? Well, it made for an eye-catching photo, that’s all!

Panic buying: Can we apply just a modicum of commo

Panic buying: Can we apply just a modicum of common sense to the coronavirus inspired shopping hysteria that has gripped the nation?

We all know about lavatory paper being in short supply, but on a recent shopping trip I discovered a store had sold out of ice cream while in a neighbouring freezer cabinet there was an abundance of frozen fruit. It also hasn’t escaped my attention that over the counter generic medications like paracetamol have become as rare as the proverbial unicorn, yet the expensive branded meds remain widely available.

I think we all need to take a step back and, more importantly, think of the old, the ill or single parents who might struggle to do their shopping. Nobody needs a garage full of quilted lavatory paper, 800 cheap paracetamol and deep freeze full of ice cream. None of these items will protect you from covid-19 or help you recover if you get it.

There’s more over on the blog if you’d like to take a look (link in bio).
