    Apparently there will be fewer episodes of the ******* Archers - none would work for me, but it's a start.

    In my field many client will realize that WFH can be as effective as working in the office. So hopefully many new project opportunities in the future without the need to travel.
    Aligns nicely with IR35 2021 fiasco.
    It'll certainly make Inside IR35 gigs more palatable for those that wouldn't be able to take them on due to travel and accommodation costs. You'll probably still have the first week in the office for meet and greets, etc, then get working from home. Most would happily swap an extra hour's work at home each day for the ability to do so.

    Two leaflets just popped through the letterbox. One from a well known pizza delivery chain, the other inviting me to take out a funeral plan with £100 discount. Coincidence?

Also, I spend most of my waking hours involved in preparations for the worst case scenarios and that does make me rather pessimistic, perhaps overly so.
    Dublin isn't looking great either.

    Is Ireland in a LESS sorry state, than the UK do you think?
