The advantage of working from home is that I can work wherever I’m comfortable that’s important in this weather. Move around the house, following the shade. Sit in the garden to cross check proofing on Weird Lies. Use unripe windfall apples as paperweights. practice reading for Leeds Book Fair in the privacy of any room in the house. Not that private… the windows are all open. Sleep when I need to… get up at 5am to get to Leeds. Yes. It definitely has something going for it.
