I closed for two days to reflect on the lockdown announcement. I've reluctantly gone back, operating a skeleton service but I'd be more content to close altogether. My work is maintenance and all outdoors and solitary so I can carry on without seeing a soul but I didn't feel comfortable being another van on the road. I've cancelled any work that does involve going into premises for an initial 3 weeks, this was well accepted by customers. There are many I do that I can just go, do the job and come back. It's my drive to theirs and no contact etc. Safer than going for a walk and certainly safer than going to a supermarket. Yet I still don't feel happy with this. I'm thinking of wording an email in such a manner that it's final and I won't be coming.

Both Mrs Marley and I work for the NHS, I'm an analyst and she's been training this week to work as an ICU nurse at the QE. Thankfully the bairns' school has been tremendous and have been looking after the kids three days a week.

I suppose I'm a little confused.
1. Why is the police going to stop me if I'm driving around?
2. Why do I need a letter for the police if they stop me?
This all sounds a little stupid if true.

Suppose they're thinking that if people are driving around making journeys that aren't really necessary, there's a chance that they will have a break down or a collision which means that they'll have to provide much needed resources to help sort it out.

I haven’t been to any client sites this month. I decided that it wasn’t worth the risk. There were a few raised eyebrows at first but over the last few days, the last of the stragglers have seen the light and sent people home.
Luckily I am able to do 99% of work from my home office and most of the meetings I’ve moved to phone or online were basically unseat travel.

My wife has been furloughed and st John's ambulance are topping the other 20% .
