It is interesting, flexible and keeps me sane. I'd recommend it. The only problem is that you feel you should always be doing it and you need to occasionally find the space (ie childcare) which isn't cheap.Dorset Dispatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457466586411004146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519883976018465014.post-80554060691426064972010-02-14T22:05:44.357+01:002010-02-14T22:05:44.357+01:00impressed and awed by your phd. sounds really inte...impressed and awed by your phd. sounds really interesting. i keep moaning about how i wish i'd studied more. plus am really not enjoying being at work. maybe i should let you inspire me. something/one needs to....Babies who brunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07544240605254105392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519883976018465014.post-57061890258235622692010-02-14T20:52:56.126+01:002010-02-14T20:52:56.126+01:00Iota - well it was seeing the picture of you in yo...Iota - well it was seeing the picture of you in your blue and white pinny that really got me thinking about posting some photos...Dorset Dispatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457466586411004146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519883976018465014.post-36521672878791764362010-02-12T15:06:35.760+01:002010-02-12T15:06:35.760+01:00Get you, being interviewed all over the blogospher...Get you, being interviewed all over the blogosphere at the moment.

If I get that interview I'll invite you along.<br /><br />TW - I think it is useful to have something that allows people to leave the realities of life for a few hours - but it isn't always as straightforward as that. Serbian links between nationalists and football supporters clubs being one example. How interesting you were in Liberia though, I shall have to hear more of that soon. And the trip to the magnetic north pole. You have led a life!<br /><br />Alice - I say it all the time. The boys now say it to each other.
