    Me too ... nurse with wife updating meds in syringe driver so I get 10 mins to see what's going on in the world (not much by the looks of it). Rest of the day will be sat by wife's side reading and taking to her - not sure she can still hear me, but I do it anyway just in case she can.

    Just winding down here, got to rebuild a new machine which is basically triggering a build and wandering off for an hour, 4 or 5 times over.

    (clearly we need a COVID equivalent of this)

    Only BH and weekends off (client too disorganised to arrange weekend working). Just got assigned a new piece of work today, got 120 days testing to do before the end of Jan, something called EU Exit.

    Taking Xmas Day and NYE off, billing the rest. 2020 saw me out of work for the longest spell in 30 years.

    Still working.
    Will knock off at 14:00 tommorow which is usual and be on call. My last ever Christmas on call.
    Back working on the 28th and then close for good on the 31st.
