Go with the flow

Wrote about Montaigne, New Year's Resolutions, and going with the flow in the Independent on New Year's Day.  It's quite a personal piece and, sure enough, I haven't made any resolutions this year.  It's one of those years that seems to call for some very different spirit anyway.

Now, though, the flow is taking me back to a hectic week of work!  But it's all getting exciting - How to Live is being published a week on Thursday, and there is lots to do.

A new decade dawns, sunny and frosty, at least in London, where I look up through my attic window this morning into a taut blue sky.
