Taking A Short Break. Also Lurking.

There are a few things scheduled here and there (e.g. CF Fans page stuff and the odd Facebook post) so you may see them pop up and I will of course still be managing the Facebook group and Udemy course when necessary – I’m not totally abandoning the internet, despite the temptation – but mostly I will be doing what the random guy (not me) in the photo is doing – naps, snacks and books.

Hope you all keep well and I will see you in a couple of weeks.
