This time last year

 Brrr, this time last year I was on furlough and starting to think about wearing shorts on my morning Boris walks.  Yesterday and today I was plying the de-icer and scraping away at a furry windowed car.  Which didn't stop me taking advantage of 50p (10p to me with birthday giftcard) costa coffee outside in the sunshine before work.  My colleague told me about this impressive deal and I realised - how much I love morning sun, coffee and a chance to read - it felt like an extension to my weekend (in fact it made today feel like Friday) 

There were "no grown ups" as my colleague calls the managers, in today. There seemed to be a lot of work made easier by some manager-free laughter! And a few calls on teams to learn a new process - naming tests.  I remembered it from my lorry place days - I didn't like to let Emily know there is an easier way to do it!! She's on holiday next week and, bless her, stressing that everything should be in order so I can cover her job.  What a contrast to where I used to work, where going in on a Monday meant that there would be one crisis after another.
