My own first name Mark, Firstly it is supposed to be spelled Marc as according to my mother I was named after Marc Bolan but they wrote it with a K on the birth certificate. Secondly it just doesn’t feel like it suits me, I have no idea what alternative I would pick though. Maybe I just don’t feel comfortable being called by my name no matter what it is :)

3/4 of the team I am on work from home, 2 of us full time, We have weekly scheduled meetings with no agenda other than to catch up and this is where ideas can come up, We haven’t all been in an office together since before the lockdown yet we continue to thrive. I also have most of each Friday blocked out to work with one of the team on whatever he happens to be working on that day. We just jump in a meeting and do stuff. And like you we are all open to just spontaneous chats at any time either by text or call. It works perfectly well.

I guess you also have those chats where you pull other people in during the conversation, Oh, Suchandsuch will have input, send them an invite to this meeting etc :)

I love it, I get peace and quite when needed to code, and all the interaction I need to make the job work.

They are often quite old… http://www.historicdoors.co.uk/blog/englands-building-age-infographic/

The older ones (Like the one I am selling) are built like big heat sinks, The intention is that you always have the coal fire burning in the day I think and the whole building stays warm over night. However in the very warm weather we get now these houses are not so great.

I’m in the UK and I am currently buying a house, I looked at hundreds and the one I am buying is the only one with built in AirCon, Only to 1 room though. It really is rare here, I have a portable unit but it isn’t that good, I think these are what many people have but actual built in air conditioning is in my experience very rare.

Tripped over my shoelace when I was 10, The kid behind me tripped on my feet and fell on me, Broke my collar bone, a rib in 2 places and a fracture to one vertibrae. I had to have an operation later as things didn’t heal right.
