BACK TO SERIOUS…

Enough nonsense

Dear Reader,

Two people liked my latest post… TWO!!! And they were anonymous!

What, too ashamed to admit they’d liked it? Or robots? AI types?

Remember, that is the one you probably did not even bother to open or read the first line and thought….NO NO NO. I can’t be doing with someone having had a lovely day.

So back to the serious stuff.

I was in a workshop with morning, marketing type thing. Lovely marketing lady says “How many hours do you really spend prepping for an event?”

GULP!

I am currently ploughing my way through the rather tedious autobiography of Mary Seacole, the Enchantress for my Zoom call on Sunday on the theme of The Mother Archetype.

I am also revising my knowledge of the Crimean War (because, you know… context)

And also Florence Nightingale…. Well, in for a penny, etc.

And listening to an excellent biography of her life written by Helen Rappaport, all marvellous 12 hours of it.

So say, 3 hours of the (mercifully short) autobiography, a couple of podcasts (Empire - recommended), the Rappaport tome, that is what… 14 hours give or take.

Then there is all the posting, setting up the Zoom, sending reminders etc. Etc. Say 3 hours.

How much am I charging for the actual event? 30 euros….

So that would be around 1 eu an hour…

I must review the situation!!!

Here is a portrait of Mary Seacole and if you want to come on Sunday, comment!

Fingers crossed you open this one!

Until we meet again….
