^ I'm way ahead of ya KW... I have a couple of old pairs of trousers for offshore.

I wear them on laundry day... and yes, I do do laundry every week.

The office is completely deserted apart from about five of us contractors, and that's nothing to do with my hygiene. There was a second confirmed Covid case amongst the office staff last week and now hardly anyone comes in. Contractors are gradually reducing in number as they finish their rotations but aren't replaced due to no-one wanting to get caught up with self-isolation over Christmas. I reckon I'll be on me own in week or so. I still have no idea what I'll do over Christmas with Covid on the up here and I'm thinking it increasingly risky to stay with my mum for my quarantine period on arrival in the UK. North Somerset will go into Tier 3 after the lockdown finishes on Wednesday so it's a pretty shite situation all round.

There's work to do... I may just go completely bah humbug and forget all about Christmas this year and work through... if they want me of course. To be honest I'll be glad to see the back of 2020 but if I can keep working there will be at least one positive to take from it. Much as I hate being away from home so long now, it wasn't a good feeling back in June watching the money going down but being unable to work. After this at least that pressure will be gone.

Anyway, it's not all doom and gloom...

Yesterday a package arrived for me at home and my daughter kindly opened it for me!



And for any other collectors out there... the Bangkok Airways logo.



Many thanks Lom... your Christmas pressie should be in the post by now!

This forum never ceases to amaze me. Earlier this year I sorted out 7 years of Aussie tax mess using a contact Ootai put me on to, and now even during these desperate times of Covid I can add to my airline spoon collection thanks to Lom!
