Kevin's Corner
My contribution to the Croud office end-of-week round-up was first named Kevin's Corner in 2019.
I began to script it once it was being delivered to camera from home, during the COVID-19 lockdowns. It was fun for me, and it worked well as a way we could bring everyone together at least once a week. That was important for people who might have been feeling isolated.
After we returned to the office, Kevin's Corner was still a regular item until mid-2023. I'm proud that when we moved into our office on Curtain Road, one of the meeting rooms was named Kevin's Corner.
Some are better than others.

Over the last two weeks, several of my family and friends have noted my beard. It came as a surprise because I wasn’t identifying as bearded. It didn’t do it on purpose. All I did was stop shaving ...
