harriet on the work/life balance…
She worked all day on her story, that is from ten in the morning until three in the afternoon. Then she got up, stretched, and feeling very virtuous, she took a walk by the river.

I do really love that Harriet. Really, reading it now rather than when you were a child is much better. I found the whole thing depressing when I was the same age as Harriet. But now it’s one of my favourites.

I agree with Harriet. It’s 12.49pm and I’m not even dressed. But then, I’ve run out of SSRIs and I’m playing it safe… What’s her excuse?!

PS I’ve just drawn my first cartoon! On mental health ‘issues’! Although ‘drawn’ might be over-optimistic …..

Sounds about right. I’m jealous.
