Work?

This blog hasn't mentioned work yet... does this mean I have managed to switch off? Of course not. I do my usual 3-4 hours each morning (holiday schedule) and then take the rest of the day off. It works well for me. I am working on (unpaid) projects that I enjoy. My list is slightly ambitious, but I wouldn't want to lounge about for 6 weeks, would I? You have to admit my office space isn't half bad.
