I’m a person who likes to have a system for things. I run my business with schedules and checklists, I plan years in advance, and operate the day-to-day and year-to-year with as much efficiency as I can. I do the same in my domestic life; I like an organised house. I’m soothed by having ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’. I like to count things; ..read more

Thanks for all your good wishes prior to my recent surgery. My leg is healing very well, and my lungs are…well getting there I suppose.

After more than 4 months on crutches, my big job is maintaining reasonable expectations as I return to activity (I'm just so darned excited!). ‘Easy does ..read more
