    Time for a life change.

    Tomorrow I embark on a 10 day trip to Sierra Leone, the 7th poorest country in the world on the west coast of Northern Africa.

    I will be teaching.

    But I think I'll learn more than I teach.

    This is just a forewarning for my inactivity until the end of November. Who knows? I'm hoping I return a better person.
    Struggling is what leads to success.
    There is no point growing without a story.

    Wow, Tom. That will be an amazing experience. I have a few friends who've done that, and I've always wanted to do it myself.

    I'm sure it will be enriching. Good luck!

    Perhaps by the time you get back I will have finished A Fraction of the Whole. Good luck to both of us.

    Have had a bad week... Some news from my 14yr old girls school... She being an A+ double + student... Perfect in every way. Decided not to be so perfect. Her marks are still exceptional but the behaviour is to be desired... Argh!!! I put it down to boredom and she should be at a gifted school. But no... She won't leave the school. She's doing my head in! What a horrible week -
