Returning thoughts

Reading time: < 1 min Back from Spain, lightly roasted and still not quite up to speed with a working day (what, no siesta?!). As I normally do, I reviewed the list of actions I jotted down before I left and looked over some of the last bits of work I completed, just to make sure I had been focussing…

Space

Reading time: < 1 min The final front ears. 1 TB for £59.99, the advert announces, loudly, in my inbox. Regardless I move the cursor up to the Delete button and, hang on… £59.99, that’s not that bad.
