First day of autumn – work from anywhere
Coffee, pain au chocolat and the weather is still nice enough to work in the garden.

Garden office
The project moves on.
It is 10x6ft. One end will be a work area and the other will be a meeting area – complete with a kettle for tea and coffee and eight USB ports.
Data cleansing
It was time to get rid of some data back-up discs. The object was to make them as unreadable as possible. May be somewhere there is a data recovery company that could retrieve the information but I guess it would be really expensive (data recovery from a crashed space shuttle). Or may be there is a hacker out these with lots of patience!
Top tip – wear gloves and eye protection when breaking discs – the technique I use is to do break them in a strong bag as this catches all the debris.
Breakfast
I had an early start today – which gave me a chance to go for a walk before the day got too hot. This was the view I had with my fresh coffee and brioche. If McDonalds had been open I would probably have spent my money there and then carried on working from there until the car parking ran out. My coffee is as good as theirs and this view is much better.
I have an unlimited data plan on my phone, which I share to my iPad when working this way.
I was using the iPhone 5 as a calculator – the photo was taken on my iPhone Xs.
(Octagon recently put a new battery in my old (redundant) iPhone 5. Now it makes a great music and audiobook player when I am walking, saving the battery on my iPhone Xs and AirPods.)
If you would like more information on working from anywhere or have a smartphone that needs a new battery or screen drop Kamila at Octagon a message via their website.
