With all my travel in the last six months, I haven’t worked 6 weeks in a row since April, and so I haven’t taken one of my sabbatical weeks.

As with the last one I took, I am not able to take a full week off as there is just too much to do for SketchingNow Watercolour. However I am going to try to limit my work to 4 hours a day and only check email twice a day on my computer ie. absolutely no checking email on my phone! It’s funny that I often switch off email on my phone during a sabbatical but somehow it just seems to come back on again.

I only drink white, green or herbal tea in this cup. Today this is my favourite tea (at the moment). It is called An Airigh – The Shieling and I bought it from the wonderful Hebridean Tea Store in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. I understand that the Shieling is a hillside pasture in the highlands with lots of heather etc.

Have a good week everyone!
