Today is Stress Awareness day, there are lots of great articles out there today to help manage your stress. I’ll post a couple of links below.

I think this new MIDWEEK post strand is going to be a links round up with any news about the site too.

A very busy week for me, working towards a major deadline in my main job. Its going well so far. Today is the last day of “freedom” before lockdown. I did consider rushing out to do something, but I realised there is nothing I urgently need to go out and do that lockdown will effect. The reason for the lockdown is things are getting bad out there with covid-19. Its time for me to bunker down and ride this out at home.

I’ll be going out for exercise outdoors whenever time allows for it. But for now, consider me locked down.
