I think the final journal entry will be day 50.

Why? 

Well, even though we're not back to normal by any stretch of the imagination, I will be back to work on day 50. 

We're going to be sensible. We aren't going to be running around licking lamp posts. We'll have our work bubble and keep everyone safe for those who wish to return to the office.

However, I am well aware that for the past 48 days some workers haven't changed at all. Some working longer hours than usual, through unknown and uncertain times, dealing with everyone else's fears and concerns, all whilst doing jobs they may have picked up part time for just a little extra cash.

Thank you 

I really mean it when I say it. Thanks for getting up every day with PPE and going to work to help all of us who you have heard moan and groan about being uncomfortable whilst being safe at home with our families.

You have kept this country running over these difficult times and when we can all gather, we all owe you a beer and a small parade.

Love for the essential workers
