As my friends know, I spend much of my leisure time bungee jumping, leaping out of aeroplanes and riding motorcycles around tracks.  In quieter moments, I compose winsome ditties on my much loved Ovation guitar and consume vast quantities of modern fiction, having exhausted the best of the Victorian novelists in my youth. I holiday on the slopes and hoist a spinny on gusty weekends, yet still find time to maintain a passing interest in modern coding approaches to video-games.

Broadly, this might well be true, were it not for the two small lunatics who've turned up in my house and consume near enough every waking minute. I still aspire to continue doing all of the above - I've started so I'll finish - but it's hard to maintain all these pursuits in just 26 minutes every weekend... And, really, all these aspirational attempts to fill your time barely hold a candle to moulding the future of two small girls. I tell myself this every morning, so now believe it to be true.

It's hard to put clear definition to my work and play existences. Before I forged a career in IT, I fiddled around with IT for pleasure - from about the age of 12. At hours which any normal person might consider firmly in the bounds of 'leisure time' - if not sleeping time - you're quite likely to find me working. I don't know if this modern boundary-blurring approach is a good thing or not - but it suits me down to the ground.
