1) Thank you
2) I changed track a bit and am now looking at the experience of signallers as lone workers except the studies I've found are all quantitative which means statistics and I don't understand a word!
3+4) I hadn't thought about self-care. I'll have A on my own for a while tomorrow as J has a telephone counselling appointment, not to mention that he's struggling massively as he failed his medical yesterday due to anxiety sending his blood-pressure rocketing so he isn't allowed to do safety critical work until a GP has signed him off as fit so I've been trying to look after him. We've split present deliveries up at least. And we need to get a big shop in too.
5) Friday. It's J's long weekend so they're with us for a week, though they're going back a day early so J can have them the latter part of Christmas Day and Boxing Day and she doesn't miss out on time either.
