Happy Friday! How has your week been?
This week I’ve been mostly making plans and planning/scheduling ahead of my sabbatical this June. Every year I take the month out to work at Edinburgh International Film Festival. It’s like a working holiday.
Meantime, it’s also the countdown to Small is Beautiful and I had a nice wee afternoon on the radio.
Here are some of the great links I pocketed along the way!
