That Was The Week – Beginning 7 April 2025
I had a slow start to the week due to sleep issues for the first couple of days, but that soon changed, once I had caught-up on some decent sleep. I progressed into the week by exploring the merits of stylus writing on ‘Nebo’ and ‘OneNote’, the outcome of which was to decide that each […]

And so, life takes a couple of new turns. I have […]
