Mental Health Day
I've got masses of heavy thinking to do today, so most levels of internet machinery are getting switched off.
(My secret: I engage with the internet in levels, mostly using desktop apps, and switch down as I require more braincycles, until I'm just running a Gmail notifier — and sometimes that goes too, and I simply leave Gmail minimised and toggle it at will.
