I’ve been working at home this week and what struck me today as I took my ‘lunch’ break (and put some laundry on) was that I hadn’t been out the front gates for two days.  Working at our dining room table does of course let me see the great views from the back of our house, but with the central heating pumping away, the availability of fresh air to my lungs has been rare.  So finishing up what I needed to do today I hauled my ‘ever shrinking’ behind past the parked up car and walked into the village to pick up some ingredients for tea.  It’s about a forty minute walk along the edge of the fields into the village and back and when my ears stop ringing from the cold, I’m sure I will feel better for it.

There is of course is another aspect to my working from home.  Paul expects his dinner to be prepared and offered up as soon as he gets in. He doesn’t of course expect it to have flavour or substance based on previous experiences, but at the generally late time when he does get in,  I suppose anything hot and filling will do.

There are some overall advantages to working at home though.  Firstly I can get a decent freshly ground coffee whenever I want, without paying nearly £3 quid a shot.  I can sit on my own pan!  I can eat healthily and best of all, when the work is done, there is no travel other than a short stroll from the dining room to our lounge where I can catch up on Scrubs while awaiting the master to return
