A few weeks ago, I started waking up in the middle of the night with panic attacks about everything that needs to be done. If that wasn't enough of a sign, my body decided to force some time off with a couple of nasty infections.

Not having to be told 3 times, I have spent this week cutting back, saying no, and prioritising the priorities.  Autumn is good for things like that - getting things in order before the long winter sets in.

Autumn is also good for conkers - our plan is to collect at least 1,000,000 tomorrow. Well, that's Ellis' plan, but I am happy to go along for the ride.
