    Hi it's Chris,

    Happy Pride, everyone. Tomorrow is Global Pride Day 2020 and if you haven't seen the is going to be an amazing, world-first event of a 26-hour-long virtual pride. Go to https://www.globalpride2020.org/watch/. It starts 6am BST, main show around 12pm and UK content around 6pm. At work we're running our own mini virtual pride at 2pm for a could of hours. My partner is a drag queen and is performing in it. So exciting!


    I'm doing very well in this lockdown. In January I started working in a project where we connected into our customer's development platform remotely from our office to work. So I just took my with laptop home and carried on regardless, with daily video calls for the team. My partner has taken it very hard, though. He's been out of work for a few years and with the help of a psychologist was just about to apply for a job when the pandemic hit. He's autistic with a heart condition and social anxiety, so the sudden changes to his world have been a nightmare. But we do what we can do enjoy life. One of our guinea pigs had 4 lockdown babies! So cute.


    Looking ahead, 28th November is LGBT STEM day. I'm going to contact my local IET community reps to see if we can do something for it. 


    Enjoy Global Pride Day and keep in touch!
