There’s a high level discussion at work about it tomorrow. I think we all know what the outcome will be. My Scottish colleagues have been told to WFH so why do the government think England is safer. 

I think it will be for the best and free up public transport for those who can’t WFH.

It has been noticeable in the last couple of weeks that buses around here are busier and being retired I only travel at quieter times. It will be interesting to see if this reduces.

I hope they don’t decide to make it mandatory again - with no more support that would be my job gone if that happened, at least for the short term. Sigh.

It's a no spends day today.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores. Breakfast was cereals, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is lamb chops with mustard mashed potato and vegetables.

Today's job's include:

• cleaning the bathrooms
• walking the dog

Despite it being all hands on deck yesterday preparing for working from home again it has been distinctly quiet on the subject today in the office.

I had hoped we might get an answer today but it doesn't look like it so far.

We have been told to WFH with immediate effect. You can still go in for mental wellbeing reasons or business reasons but they are shutting up some of the buildings again after only just opening them up. It suits me fine, no more walking to work in the dark and sitting on my own all day just to tick a box once a week.

MrEH’s firm were told earlier in the week that they were encouraged to WFH if they would prefer, but that they could continue to go into the office a couple of days a week if that suited them. Pretty much everyone there travels by public transport though as it’s central London, and Omicron is hugely prevalent in London at the moment, so that may be a lot to do with it.

The company OH works for has not returned to the office since the first lockdown. Occasionally one or two members of staff have gone for the odd day but mainly everyone is happy working at home. OH has no intention of going to the office in the future.

I am back to working from home as of tomorrow
