Helen, are you an early riser or do you live in a different time zone? I am GMT +3hrs, 2hrs ahead of British Summer Time. The "week end" here is Thursday and Friday. This makes business dealings a bit of a strain as one has to be always available. We would be lost without e-mails and mobile phones, I cannot think how we managed before. (If you can go back far enough, it was all done with Cables/Telegrams and Carbon Paper.) Yes, now is a good time to be living.
