Episode notes

When I'm not working on my product or with client work, I spend a lot of time traveling at the minute. So I go to loads of different conferences and just try to do some leisurely travel as well. You said in my introduction that I'm a cross stitch addict, that's definitely true. I haven't been doing as much of that lately because I've been so tired. And now I just want to sleep straight away. When the travel dies down a little bit, hopefully that'll I'll finish a project that I've been working on for about two years now.
