Cloudy but expected to be sunnier later. Currently -2 with a high of 3 expected. No precipitation forecast.

New clientCo made all the right "outside" noises and then say I have to book non billing days as "annual leave". I get they need time tracking for invoicing to client and monitoring PO burn down but surely I can just leave a non billing day as blank?
