THE BBC — There’s working from home, and then there’s working it from home.
Some of us have taken working from home as it comes, just doing what we need to do. And some of us have been using our energy to go all-in on creative outlets and investment in hobbies. (For the record, whatever you’re doing is perfectly acceptable.)
BBC weather presenter Owain Wyn Evans has invested in the latter, creating a video of his hobby that can only be described as "face-melting fun."
The viral clip begins with Welsh-born Evans finishing his at-home weather report. When the BBC News theme song starts to play, Evans looks surprised and rushes off, ending his rush at a drum kit.
And even though it’s already been stated in the title of this article that Owens does an "epic drum solo," the level of his energy and talent is still a surprise. In fact, Evans, who describes himself as "unapologetically flamboyant" on his Twitter profile, certainly lives up to that self-description with his great performance.
When they said try working from home I didn’t realise they’d expect me to do the music too @BBCNews@BBCNWT#BBCNewsTheme 🥁 #workingfromhomepic.twitter.com/DVXjDw0l8F

Evans tweeted out his video with the cheeky caption, "When they said try working from home I didn’t realise they’d expect me to do the music too."
And aren’t we glad they (fake) did?
