"Reply from Zoom lesson timetable update.
"Brilliant! Thank you. We appreciate Jake being able to train still which is good for his martial arts, exercise and structure. A bit of normality in amongst so many unknowns. We struggled with the technology to start with, me with getting it on the big screen at home (with sound 🤣) & Jake with not being there with you all in the class. Now it's a new normal. Great that you and he can work flexibly.
Thank you x""
