    As mentioned in a DIY posting – Week 32 – October 5th 2020 – Week 29 of lockdown, regarding Claire working from home, I had removed the bed and did some painting to freshen up some of the walls and window seal. Also put up a new blind with the help of Claire.

    We also got a new storage unit and a desk, due to health and safety reasons the delivery drivers, even though we had requested the delivery to the room, said it was not possible. They weren’t allowed to unpack. We told them to leave it and the James Delivery Company went into action.

    I removed all the packaging and the draws to make it light and easier to carry. Our first attempt was a failure, so after discussing with the in-laws and looking at everything ourselves, plan two went into action and we got the desk up and into the room.

    This is Claire new office, Claire seems happy, and what do you think?

    I believe I caught Jupiter with the moon?

    Plus another morning sunrise as I continue to learn to take pictures.

    Due to not having a response to my email to the Hon Brokenshire, I rang the House of Parliament and left a voicemail. I was called back in less than an hour by one of his staff.

    I explained I wasn’t happy after I rang the police and they couldn’t find the case I raised about neighbours not quarantine after being abroad. She said she would take this up with the Hon Brokenshire.

    I discussed with my financial advisor Nikki, if this was worth doing, giving Claire the marriage allowance, I must admit, I didn’t know this was still around.

    Nikki said it was a good idea, so Claire now has this in her tax code.

    I was out in the garden and I hear this loud screeching noise. I looked around and then up on the roof, I could see what was causing it, one of the squirrels. In the past I thought this was a bird making this noise, so I learned something today. ??

    During this week, whilst looking through stuff, I came across an Chelsfield Exiles team picture from 1989.

    Taken at Poverest Recreation ground.

    With the pandemic not looking to be getting any better and Claire Company saying that working from home would continue, we decided to change the second room into an office for her.

    The first picture is from 2017, when we had a damp issue in the room, this was all resolved and redecorated by our builder Terry and this is how it looked in 2017.
