Counting down to the end of my contract on March 31st, so beginning to clear out rubbish in my home office to accommodate the rubbish in my work office. I plan to take April off, more or less, then begin some energetic writing on a couple of books, and take up any freelance work that comes my way.
At least the days are longer and lighter now here in the north of England. This morning returning from collecting newspapers in Crossflatts, the village below ours, I could walk along the towpath beside the Leeds to Liverpool Canal just after 6 o'clock. Walking by the water and watching for swans, ducks, and anticipating the return of a few herons, it is easy to refresh my mind and feel fairly at ease with things, despite the meagre amount of work on the horizon.
