I try to read one of my long list of e-books for about an hour each morning between taking my medication and doing a few exercises. Then it’s time to get up and start my day, normally in my office (particularly at the moment as the weather here is extremely variable i.e. sun, overcast, showers,…

What was your dream job as a child? Well I am assuming that the definition of “a child” is younger than mid – late teens. In which case this will be a very short post! When I was “a child” the idea of a job never really entered my head – I was just having…
