I was using some cheap notebooks for a while but I think I want a nice leuchttrum again. Do you use an alternative?
it’s my last day at my old firm and I’m doing it iPad only.
We traveled to my in-laws yesterday and then we’re going on holiday. I didn’t take my computer, just the iPad as what was the point for one day (I had also got by last year when I left my computer at home one day.

Friends who have a podcast. What do you use to edit them?

I hope you’ve all been well. March was a whirlwind for me but things are starting to settle. I just put the finishing touches on one paper and now can finish another. I’ve enjoyed this course (Theology and practice of Worship) but I’m looking forward to a break.
