@DrStruthers What a wonderful book. My parents were husband and wife watchmakers from 1960s-2000s. They worked from home - barometers mended on the kitchen table - completely normal!
@ViolaChasm@LSELibrary@KCGCollection@timeandtidemag1 Great talk thank you! Inspired me to dig out my vintage knitting patterns and magazines. Came across advert (1927) promising riches for knitting/machine knitting work from home scheme
@Sotherans When I worked in a bookshop we sold a lot of audio books.
Customer : I want a book read by Martin Jarvis
Me: ok, what's the author or title?
Customer: oh I don't care about that! It just needs to be anything read by Martin Jarvis, I don't care, I just have to hear his voice!
This is self-isolating in style - Sally and Ken from Penzance are both in their 80s, both have dementia but she loves to play the piano - no sheet music! - and he loves to dance π

The best story of the week: Basingstoke hospital is the FIRST hospital in the U.K. to be able to test for Covid-19 in house.
Well done team!
