involuntarily clearing my diary

At the beginning of the week, nothing I was due to attend had been cancelled.

Here, at the end of the week, four workshops or conferences I was due to attend (in April, May, July, and August) have been cancelled, and in turn I’ve cancelled a workshop we were due to run at the end of March, and will not start to organise the one due to be held in August (at that cancelled conference).

So my diary is now a lot clearer that it was, and we are all discussing how we can move some of this research activity on line.  And I will be working from home for the duration.  I’m lucky enough to have that option, unlike some people.
