Weeknotes wb 25 November 2024
A week of two halves. It started very productively and then on Wednesday I was knocked flat with some sort of illness which took about three days to get over (including one sleeping most of the day on Thursday). I find the hardest aspect of being unwell is the inability to do anything at all

Blimey! It’s over a month since I made any attempt to put together a “weeknotes”. Perhaps “month notes” would be more appropriate.
