At 04:30 on Friday morning, the taxi was waiting for me (Helena) at the marina where we live. Then I had a long working day ahead of me.

Read moreOk, here we go! New logo for "Happy Friday" for the rest of the year and I'm back to business as usual. Today is about what I understand is a common problem that is all around us, and that my son Billie has been struggling with since young.
