I suspect this is a unsettling time for you.
Not Companies House but a Civil Service office. We've been downsizing steadily for the last 20 years. We've been in our current building for around 14 years. We used to have the entire ground floor. Now we have a quarter of that and it'll soon feel too big with so many people working at home.

Thankfully, it's not an unsettling time for me. As far as work goes, those who know me well personally will be aware that the last ten months or so have been surreal rather than unsettling - I can't go into details, but it's been a weird, weird period and that's without Covid-19. Still, could be worse - circumstances have meant I've built up loads of leave, so I'll be having plenty of lazy days off like today in the coming weeks.
