Yes. School was out today and tomorrow... awesome.... makes working from home easy!
Also feels like a days holiday not having to do the whole packed lunch prep, uniform put on fight, teeth cleaning, face washing, out to school trauma...
Does your wife have a problem getting you to work often then? I didn't know you wore a uniform!

Its march mate...
It's another day down under, so here's the pared-back version of the last image, where I moved a little closer to the giant sandbags and the water and removed a whole stack of detritus from the frame in PP, including a whole bunch of people who didn't move very much.
Canon 6D, Canon 24-105mm f/4 L, Multi-segment Metering, Bulb Mode, Format-Hitech Firecrest 16 Stop ND
ISO 100, 24mm, f/9, 4.5 minutes

Yeah, but, no... It's a bunch of giant sandbags that the surf life savers use to launch their longboats from. They are about 1500x1500mm in size and get replaced once or twice a year as they get thrown about quite a bit during storms and severe seas, even though we are way up in a gulf here.
Sorry my earlier example was maybe a bad one. This is the type of image i want to be able to take. I have all these places stored up ready but i cannot get the transition right from ground to sky...
Just between you and me, Ken. I get it right in PP, most times. I don't own a grad filter at all and as a consequence, aim for good overall exposure, with no blown out or blocked up details. I know that a good exposure at 1/250 will give me a 4.5 minute exposure perfectly using my Formatt-Hitech Firecrest 16 stop filter.
This particular image has a graduation applied to the sky section, lots of cleaning up visual detritus from the scene, selective adjustments, etc... It's not SOOC, by any means. Here's the before SOOC, without any adjustments, not even lens fixes, as a comparison.
