I believe I am suffering from the worse meme of them all lethargy, why do I think this well:
  1. Failed Jan challenge.
  2. Commitment to training has been shocking.
  3. Book writing has grounded to a halt.

Have a great day, and I will have a pint with my Pagan friends and a Hobgoblin it will be.

So it has been awhile and I have had a couple of planned posts to do. But I either get distracted or forget to post, as I normally plan these during the day when I take my Cig break.
