I’ve had lots of emails from people agreeing that they’ve been lacking motivation as the winter nights come in. Once you lose your routine, it’s always harder to get back into it.

When I was studying for my masters my friend Rania had to edit all my essays, I be so busy focusing on the content I couldn’t see the huge grammar and spelling errors! But if you’ve been reading me emails you’ll already know that. Yesterday John wouldn’t stop asking me what an AISlES was. You… Continue reading I can’t spell and have no attention to detail…..
