Working for yourself has many advantages, but taking long Summer breaks is not one of them. While the break is always welcome. it costs you a shedload in lost revenue, and creates so much of a backlog of work when you return, that you need another holiday to get over it.

NMM Falmouth
Well it’s been a pretty awful long Bank Holiday from the weather point of view. Apart from a few hours of sunshine yesterday there has been solid cloud over the Southwest.

The Green Flash
I’m desperately trying to use the rest of this pack of PX600, so I can try IP’s new PX70 cool. Two more piccys and I’m away.
