I was sitting on a bench looking over the ocean at Santa Monica trying to explain to someone what I actually do. You know 'theres this job and when I'm not doing that I'm doing my creative thing and I've got this job for money' and she said 'Ah you mean a freedom job?' Ding ! of course thats what its called. I have this other job which is really flexible, a 6 minute commute across a park, I can go off for any time up to 6 months without having to let them know or negotiate a sabattical (the only penalty is that I have to do a days training if I'm away more than 6 months). The great thing is that I go to it much more willingly as it is so flexible and I have the time and the money to do the things I want to do. My job is my patron.

This blog isn't a travelogue but have touched down in Manly Sydney for the next month. Hoping to restore my health and see family. I've been orientating myself and have just added another picture to my series of 'Slightly Disreputable Down at Heel Doorways'.
