All good things must come to an end

The downside to going to a wedding on the other side of the country is, hands down, the trip home.  We knew when planning our trip that it was going to be short and face paced, but it's not been until we've been in the cars and planes that we've been able to realise just how ambitious …

Tonight I feel tired

So much I want to write but certainly no space in my brain to give it space to grow tonight.  I'm knackered! A huge week of thinking and presentations and trying to keep the hamster running on the little wheel - both at work and at home.  I'm getting there, but geez I'm tired today! …
