I’ll make no bones about it, I was completely exhausted during the show this morning. I tried to get some sleep beforehand but 2-3 restless hours probably made things worse, not better. Despite the handicap, I think I still managed to pull off a decent show and this was certainly helped by the fact that I was super-organised and had a great playlist of music ready to go.
My Bellabox has arrived, and it’s a case of better late than never. The boxes seem to be getting sent out later and later every month, and having to worry about whether it’s actually going to arrive tends to take some of the sparkle out of receiving it.

They sign up for the working man’s dream of deferred living. Toiling away for the next three decades in order to reach the nirvana of retirement when–finally!–true luxury can be had…”
A new workplace manifesto: in praise of freedom, time, space, and working remotely
A great reminder that you don’t need to wait until retirement age to have a healthier, more satisfying lifestyle. I wholeheartedly agree with the overall message of the article, and I’ve now added Remote: Office Not Required to my reading list.
