The weather was good, the tide was just right, and Mr Worditude and both The Sons were home, so I sacked off work and went to the beach - I even got in the actual sea (just past my knees, then hid under my hoodie towel to defrost). After a shower, food and coffee, I thought I'd return to my laptop, bursting with vim and vigour eager to blast through my to-do list. I was wrong Reader I've been back home for more than 5 hours, it's 6pm, and it's time I accepted that I will be filled with neither vim, nor vigour, and the best I can manage in this relaxed and docile state is a link to a podcast and a poll that has no connection to the podcast but will be helpful for my July plans.... oh and a helpful thing in the Not-Sponsor Spotlight (I'm going to use this myself as my back-end is embarassingly untidy 🤭).

The appointment was a little delayed. Afterwards, I was sweaty, discombobulated, and eager to get back to the car, home for a shower, and on with my to-do list. But as I was marching along...
What do you love to work on that other people would rather avoid Reader? Mr Worditude spends a huge proportion of his working day gazing at spreadsheets, and he's perfectly content (something to do with freight and accounting 🤷♀️).For me, it's sales pages. I've worked on hundreds of sales pages for clients. Long ones. Little ones. Brand new pages for freshly launched offers. Re-vamped pages for long-established bestsellers. It never gets old. I still love working on this magical...
This week I recorded a podcast interview. It was only my second one this year. I had intended to spend 2025 growing my email list through connections and collaborations, and podcast guesting was going to be a huge part of it…. almost six months into the year, I’ve recorded just two interviews. I realized I’ve been kinda quiet. So here’s a little life update. Not because anything dramatic has happened. But to show how my Comfy Business is growing (or adapting) when my time and energy are...
