, running a business or earning a salary that one starts to live to work rather than to work to live.
I remember after Michael Portilo lost his parliamentary seat to Stephen Twigg at the 1997 election at what I recall was the start of his media career, he said I havent read a book in months. For a well educated man, that is a painful statement to make. There is a certain overload factor that goes with being a member of parliament, but enough of that.
Ive just looked at myself in the mirror and discovered almost every waking moment over the last few months has been devoted to work.
I will have a long weekend this is late Thursday morning. As soon as this gets posted, it would be bye bye till Wednesday. How decadent.
First things first I shall look for some cake recipes and then bake some cupcakes as I have been invited to a birthday party for a 3 year old and his mum has asked if I could bake some cupcakes in some really funky colours. I will, indulge my passion for cooking some more this might be an expression of the fact that Im at one with that young lass from New York who seems to have made a career from not eating out.
Then I shall go for long long walks to no where just because I can when I get tired, Ill come home by bus or taxi.
Sooner than we know it, Wednesday will be upon us and I shall be ready to show the business that I own it, it doesnt own me.
