Covid - 19 in Brazil
I would like to talk about it at a more personal level. How it has affected my family, my work and my work colleagues.
At home life has changed, my father-in-law, who is 94, now lives with us. Up until this started, he was living in his own apartment, albeit with a home help who took care of him. That became impossible to maintain when the government announced the lockdown back in April and as our children are now grown up and have flown the coup, a spare room was available and we all thought it safer for him to come here.
Work life has also changed. I used to work from my own office but now work from home, it’s a much safer environment, no travel and less meeting up with other people. Probably a lot of you have had to do the same.
My line of work though, in providing you with support, is straightforward enough to do at home. For others it must be considerably more difficult when you are trying to run a foundry for example. Kids, who are off from school, running around creating havoc when you have important phone calls to make can make things difficult. Luv em really though.
I would say though that the level of support calls and emails we receive has not diminished and you still keep us busy.
As to work colleagues then I could name 3 who are chomping at the bit to get back on an aeroplane and fly off to some exotic location, or wherever your foundry may be. Withdrawal symptoms have definitely kicked in for some.
We are all keeping well, as I hope you all are.
Keep safe
Kevin

Lynx Watching – or not
I had watched a National Geographic Programme on the Iberian Lynx that live in Spain in one of two national parks. There has been a conservation programme to restore their numbers through a breeding programme and then releasing them into the wild.

Always learning
Back safe and warm in Synchro Towers after a trip up to my old hometown of Worcester for a four day training course. Over in the support team we don't have the life on the road of our Global Training and Implementation Team, and leaving the family at home to head out can be tough, but it's vital to keep up to date with the current standards and features.
