Before It’s 9.48 am and I’m reporting for duty (I have always wanted to say that). At this stage in the day, I have never listened to a podcast, I have no idea how or where to – broadcast? Post? Publish? – a podcast and I am actually not at all sure what defines a […]

Well, now I have time, with bittersweet thanks to coronavirus. As I am the kind of person who needs a framework and a plan to effectively be a do-er rather than a think-about-er, this is how I intend to fill 10 of the next 23 days (no intended meaning to the 23), doing some of

I re-wrote chapter 37 as it was directionless. I then stenoed chapter 38, which is also not great. Again, all done before “needing” my warm-up blog. Chapter 38 is about my connection between the smell of jasmine flowers and Beirut, unexpectedly one of my top three favourite places to visit. There is likely to be
