make something everyday – music 001
OK, so the answer to the question of whether I work on Sunday was “yes, kinda”. There’s a reason for the sabbath. At a practical level it’s about unwinding and connecting with people we care about. Today was my son’s birthday and I’m glad I had a good long chat with him. But I did…

Five weeks later and I’ve found some time to blog again. I’m having to pay more attention to where I put my efforts – people are getting to know that there’s another helpful chap around. I am, sooner or later, going to have to get used to disappointing people and saying no, but not quite…
