furlough stage 2. and all ready I'm bored. can't sit on the patio drinking beer and reading my book this time! I could do some work from home if I had the software. but employer doesn't want that. they want to take 80% and amuse my self in the meantime.so be it.

Furlough 1 sounded great!  
Maybe it’s a good time to learn a new skill? A friend of mine taught himself some basic joinery, and now I have some lovely wooden speaker stands.

I'm going to do some model making. got a bench and vice in the shed & all the tools. I think I might need to put a little heater in the shed though.

If you spent lockdown 1 sitting on the patio drinking beer and reading you could presumably learn to adapt and sit indoors drinking beer and reading?!
