***CoronaBonus***

With the recent reductions in the Bank of England base rate down to 0.1%, my mortgage rate
went from 1.34% to 0.84% and now 0.69%. I am now only paying 90p per day in interest.

I am paying 0.18 over base, so 0.28%, unfortunately more than 90p per day.

I think your mortgage balance is more than mine. The actions of those naughty irresponsible
investment bankers (from 2008) have had some influence on current rates.

The reduced air pollution may indeed be a bonus.

My employer is sending all staff an Easter gift from Hotel Chocolat as a little thank you for the extra work we're doing as a result of Covid19...

I've been to Hotel Chocolat. It's not made out of chocolate, which is a bit disappointing. Though it's not far from a volcano, so perhaps they erred on the side of caution.

That's good news. I was afraid they might fold.

I'm about to go an eat my lunch in the garden. A definite bonus of WFH.

Hold on, let me go get my mower and chainsaw.

Badum, and indeed, tish.

Its in Huntington, there are no volcanoes in Huntington, it is though, the land that time forgot

Fewer coconuts too.

I've relocated my whole office to the garden. How on earth did people ever manage before laptops and wifi were invented?

They spent a lot of time in their gardens training their carrier pigeons.

That's fine... if you don't suffer from hayfever.

Long telephone extension cables for their fax machines.

Pre-wifi that's what I used.  To untangle it after one trip I wound it round our soiled-clothes basket.  I didn't have any more such trips, so that's where it has stayed for the last 15+ years.

[Greenbank]

A 30m network cable worked for me many years ago.

Also a 30m power cable, 4 way extension block, kettle and big bottle of water.

Would be harder now if anything as I've got so used to having 2 x 23" monitors on my WFH desk. Find it really odd moving back to a single 15" laptop screen on the rare occasions I have to do that.

[Hot Flatus]

The entire lockdown is worth it, just for this:

Desktops and Ethernet: Better computers, without having to worry about the rain/sun/pollen/bees.

What to do with the cardboard tubes from your bog roll stash.  That's rather lovely

Pedant alert. Don’t you mean Huntingdon ? Huntington is near York.

He's right about Huntington being the land that time forgot though!    At least it isn't Haxby!
