This week the world changed.
Starting with Sunday Mar 15th, when I read my work email to find that 2 of our 4 Learning Centers were shutting down until the end of June. This is a drastic action and I'm sure it wasn't taken lightly, since it then meant we needed to start evacuating people and repatriating Learners to go back to their country of origin. All that stuff, and it was crazy.
Then when I went to work on Mon March 16th, it started out semi-normal but then realised that it would be the last day in the office because everyone was told to go work from home. My intern Antoni needed to actually fly back to Norway immediately, so it was all quite frantic as he hadn't even considered this possibility. So he needed to quickly go back to his flat, pack a bag of essentials, and hop on whatever flight he could get to Oslo before the borders closed. (He managed to make it safely to his parents house by Mon evening, so that's good.)
As for school, Tryfan's year was told to stay home starting today, and Rhiannon's year will stay on at school through Friday. Everyone is scrambling to keep up with changes and we have all been tuning into the daily radio updates with Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the evening. Such a strange time.
