I certainly feel like I am complaining a lot, and it's not somnething I enjoy! Thank you

I feel like I haven't stopped whinging about my hands since September. And I hate THAT.

I think I'd be fine in one of these, too. I'm certainly not opposed to them!

And I certainly do remember!

Not a bad idea!

I will let you know! Looking forward to getting into it. Just distracted at the moment by this, which is a reflection of my mood rather than your book! I aim to have read both by end of Sept 💪💪

Liverpool is part of me as I have been part of it. I long to reconnect with the place properly.

We cop a lot of flak as Scousers, but it's my favourite city in the world, and I've never been as satisfied as I was teaching young working class Scousers about Indian philosophy.

You are definitely right, there! Thank you 💪💪

Did you get the gig?!

I tend to see these things as stuff I just happened to do, or ways in which I indulged myself. Then it's onto the next thing and sorta forget about the last thing.

When I say that, people think I'm being flippant, or faux-modest. It's not that, but I understand how it can seem so!

Can relate with the work thing, even now tbh I'm not especially happy and would rather be doing something else (teaching more, really) but yeah, it's very personal isn't it?

I have a weird relationship with these things, and I shift focus quite quickly when I'm 'done'.
