I have a 2 hour thing every day which is devoted to Duolingo, Complete Works of Shakespeare, and whatever book I happen to be reading. That's the afternoon, and in the morning it's a long walk and a cafe. It's hell, I tell you. |

Taking out 40 hours of work + c10 hours travel means stuff I did before work, at lunchtime and in the evening can now be done at social times.

Yeah, I only have school runs to do when my son is offshore. Unfortunately he is adhoc so I often have plans I need to change but it mainly works and still beats going to work.
