Daily Blog

How many of you had a bit of a celebration last night? The removal of social distancing etc was the green light for life to return to normal – whatever that is.

After a couple of months working from home I’ve concluded there are significant differences to being in the office – this morning being a good example…

So, what happened yesterday? We have been told we don’t have to social distance anymore from Monday and that to all intents and purposes the Isle of Man is now Coronavirus free…

Working from home has it seems had medical consequences. My trousers, the two sides of which once met comfortably in the middle, no longer do so. There’s a chasm between the button and the buttonhole the likes of which Evil Knievel would have relished in his day.

It’s a few weeks since I stopped writing my daily ‘Working from Home’ blog. Now, though – in a quieter moment – I thought I’d take a brief look at how things have changed since Blog 55 on the 20th of May.

I’d like to start this final blog by congratulating Christian Varley on his astonishing feat of completing nineteen marathons in nineteen days. His efforts have so far raised more than £80,000 for the Manx Solidarity Fund.

I had a weird dream last night. I had come up with an idea for a new novel in the thriller/horror genre.

Another Monday morning dawns and I’m back in the spare room in front of the computer.

I have to say I’ve never really fancied entering politics, and given the current circumstances in which our elected representatives find themselves today, I think I’d rather be an inmate at Guantanamo Bay.

Day 50 and the working from home blog has reached its half century. People often ask me how do I think of things to write about everyday. Those who’ve been with me since the start will argue that I don’t.
