I know I've said something like in another emailhere. Anyway, if we can't do what we really wish to be now, then what's the point?

Yes, I know that very well. My PhD was an all-over academic one. What made it different to other most academic PhDs, is that it was based on Autoethnographic research. It was quite a challenge. Got through it though :-) But, as you say - dealing with finishing the PhD, two deaths in the family and existing through Lockdown, while trying to manage Furthefield and survive, has certainly been a struggle. Not just this, we're moving house soon. So, that's a whole pile of substance to manage one's way through. However, I'm feeling quite chirpy because I am closer to who I need to be than ever before, and I hope this can be said with respect to your good self and others using this list. Wishing you well.
