Hello! If you’ve been around for a while, then you might remember that I made 19 Goals for 2019, this time two years ago. I really enjoyed having something to focus my mind and although I didn’t achieve all of my goals entirely, I’m sure that I achieved more than I would have, had I not made myself accountable here. In perhaps a foreshadowing of…

During lockdown I’ve been unsure as to how I should behave as a consumer. On the one hand, I want delivery drivers to be out and about as little as possible, but on the other hand, small businesses…
