julesjonesWe live in interesting times and that subject line is a good deal less flippant than I would like it to be. Anyway, I am still going to work, on the bus, which is still mostly empty, which makes me feel a little better.
We had a confirmed case of Covid in the office, together with two people reporting suspicious symptoms, which meant that on Monday morning the rest of of us were told to make ourselves scarce until the building had been deep cleaned. I would prefer less interesting reasons to have an unexpected most-of-day off, but since I was hanging around the town centre long enough to make sure we weren't going to get called back in [*], I went comfort-shopping at the local discount fabric shop. I now have still more Wols, plus some nice garden print cotton fabric and autumn leaves print cotton fabric, and plain dye polycotton; masks, for the making of. I resisted the temptation to get even more fabric Just In Case, because that lot will keep me going for a while.
[*we were on one hour stand-by to get ourselves back to the office should the deep cleaning crew be available immediately, but since we were getting paid time off for the period we were turfed out this wasn't unreasonable.]

Date: 2020-09-28 10:09 pm (UTC)Not-a-print-shop makes sense. Making you-all work in an office doesn't, alas.
I am glad it has mostly not been dire so far, and shall hope it stays at least so fortunate.
