thedothatgirlI've worked from our home office since 2007. It's been a great move for us both (I work with my husband) but lately I cannot tell you all how glad I am that we do.
That said, my oldest friend in Tuscany is having an appalling time. We're due to visit in August and I really hope by that time Italy is on the road to recovery. It is one of my favourite countries in the world, and possibly top of my list.
On other matters of impact on our normal activities, this Winter/Spring has been very low key in theatre & London jaunts anyway, we just hadn't booked anything . Other than 'Ocean At The End of The Lane' in January where I spotted Joss Whedon in the audience - we just have 'Upstart Crow' on 21st March and it would be ironic if the 'master of the revels' were to close theatres due to the COV19 virus like they did back in the day with plague.
The only thing I am watching with concern is Lux 2 - the Lucifer Convention I have been looking forward to since last year. In fact the only Convention I have been excited about for years. We had an email last night saying it was still proceeding as of this week, but that could change overnight. If the Cast decide that they cannot risk travel/ can't get flights/government force closure of gatherings. The organizer has postponed the Hannibal Con that was due the week before, but not Lux2 yet. Although I would be bitterly disappointed, financially it is better that the whole thing is postponed so I can recoup ticket/photo op costs and cancel part of the hotel booking rather than half the cast not showing up. I guess we wait it out.
Hope all on my flist are good and taking care.
