In today's FT, Lucy Kellaway's problem page features someone who has just completed a 3 year sabbatical and now needs to find work. How best should he cover this three year period on his CV and how should he project the image of long-term commitment to a new employer - something he clearly doesn't have. The reply is not too homeful. The main thrust is the need for spin. Since I too face this problem in respect of new work, this answer is somewhat mixed. Progress remains slow on the work front but there are, as always, one or two things that might come to something
My breaks from revision take place at the allotment - I have put some blackberries in, cleared the area around the rhubarb plant that has survived the last couple of years with no attention and racked over the new areas that I plan to be working on next. So much to so
The Independent has an article on the crisis facing crofters - post banking crisis, maybe more people will downshift to Syke? Perhaps some people will use the current crisis as a point at which to reflect on their lives and take some radical steps in a new direction - somehow I doubt many will adopt this idea

Grey clouds over the allotment - my shed in the far distance, polytunnel hidden to the right
Current contents of the polytunnel - beans, tomatos, cucumbers, peppers & melons
The people with the front area never seem to actually plant anything - maybe just a trick to some other people having the bit by their house
