Wanted: some sort of office space for five weeks

Recommended Posts

This may or may not work in the world of coronavirus, but it's worth an ask.


I'm spending 5 weeks from the week starting 30 March writing a book. I was going to be based in a shared office-club place, but clearly that won't work. Writing from home will be difficult, due to distractions/other people etc.


So I was wondering: does anyone have a room/space/home office/shed/pod/anything of some sort I could rent? It would need to be one I could access in a non-shared way, ie to not have to have daily close contact with others, so it's not any more of a public health risk than working from home. I'd mainly be working fairly standard hours, but I'd need access beyond those, in case the deadline looms. And I'm based in SE5, so it would need to be somewhere I could cycle to fairly quickly.


But beyond that my needs are basic: just power, light, access to a loo and ideally wifi. Even wifi isn't a dealbreaker, as I could use a mifi dongle. A desk and chair would be good, though at a real push I could even bring them along. Price could be negotiable. It can be in a building with others, as long as the space is separate. I'd be quiet, nothing more than tapping laptop keys and the flick of book pages.


Any ideas welcome.


Thanks

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
