• While I am glad to still be in work, sitting in a spare bedroom hunched over a laptop is not ideal and I am mightily pissed off that a neighbour is taking advantage of the sunny weather to sand some old bit of shabby shit furniture in his garden all day long. With a loud electric sander of course. So I have to keep the window shut and I can still hear the bastard thing buzzing away so I am listening to White Denim on headphones which is out of character and not conducive to drafting a deed to enable one charity to hand over responsibility to another charity for a project that the first one no longer has capacity to oversee.

    If I ask him to stop, he will start again this evening when I want to sit outside. And he’s basically a nice bloke, just a bit addicted to power tools. And he is out of work because of Coronavirus so...

    ... do I just carry on and hope he hasn’t got sanding projects to fill up the next few weeks? Do I suggest to him he might want some sort of mask to keep the dust out of his lungs?
