It's always a Bank Holiday when you are retired. I would recommend it .cheers

Easter was a good Public Holiday in my last job as we got 4.5 days off. The normal 4 day Easter break and half day for Mayday Thursday - never did find out why .scratch

Grey here in W London, but at 10c at 8.30, not ...

A bit of grey day here in W London, but the sun is trying to say hello.

I have been busy with some legal stuff this morning and trying to gain access to online legal docs has given me a headache. It seems like I have been locked out so no progress possible until Tuesday. Maybe I should have asked ...

Hi Paul

Bright sunny but windy here in London.

I have a redundant TV aerial that's decided to wobble noisily overnight which I could have done without 😕. I need to acknowledge my age and competence levels in regards working from a roof ladder, so will subby the removal of the ariel I think

Morning all ( but only just Morning!)

If you want to achieve illuminated directional signage, then stickers over the light can be effective if they let enough light thru

But if you are attempting to provide wayfinder emergency lighting to illuminate a circulation space - say ...

I agree with Witsd that you need to review your FRA to take account of the new layout and in particular, the inner room situation

Purists would argue that as escaping from an office thru a canteen is arguably low thru high risk, it can't be permitted.

But - call me old fashioned - assessing risk ...

Sunny and warm in east Anglia today - but breezy

My retirement plans have slipped a bit as I am helping out on a two day major exercise. I didn't realise it would involve so much walking as I have chalked up 8,500 steps so far today setting it up and now enjoying a well deserved breakfast

But I ...
