The Diary returns to its roots: I m working from home - Dear Diary - It s Tuesday, January 5, and I m at home, working. Working from home, as it were.
This is where The Diary began, back when it had a semblance of news value. It would serve for years to come as a fascinating insight into what life was like during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
That was why my editor, Kevin Hughes, allowed it and erroneously felt it was a good idea. Historians would one day extol its virtues, we thought. It would be looked at as an outstanding piece of reportage of its time.
