I cannot be alone in feeling utterly fatigued by the news, by the state of the world, by what is happening all around us, and by the feeling of despair that the actions of fascist leaders are now inducing. This morning, that feels particularly acute.
I also realise that I have given myself too little time off for a while and have been working more than 12 hours a day on this blog, on videos, and on other projects. I need some straightforward time to physically recover. I have already spent an hour this morning dealing with comments, posting the video, and doing other work related to these issues, and it is only 7.30 and now I need to spend much of the rest of the day resting.
Might I make two requests as a result?
Firstly, might you understand if blog moderation is slow today?
Secondly, might you make your comments fairly succinct, because that will help me.
Thank you.
Thanks for reading this post.

No problem. Suspect your body is saying to you ‘Rest up, mate’.
So, take it easy and recharge the batteries.

P.S Your efforts are always appreciated
Thanks
I am very tired
I share your despair, as I’m sure do many others. Rest well and recuperate and thank you for all you do…. your writing has always given me hope.
Do what your body (and your wife) tell you is needed. Spend the next few days asleep, or birdwatching, or whatever; we’ll understand. And it probably won’t make much difference to what Trump, Netanyahu and their acolytes do, either.
The Guardian takes comments on some articles, but not on others. If it meant you had more time to rest, it’s fine with me if you did the same.
Absolutely!
Your analysis, insights and output are greatly appreciated; your health and well-being paramount.
Take care.
I’m completely in line with your feelings and request this week. I simply cannot understand the stupidity of it all. Compounded by the fact I recieved really bad news about a close friend this week. It’s made me angry and then sad. There are people breathing, using resource that should be directed elsewhere. Take the time. Take a momemt. I will. Be healthy.
Thanks
Slow down Richard. Are you over-committed? You cut many demands on your time not so long ago, but you appear to have filled up again.
You are right
That is how I am
Time off – It is why the weekend was invented – take care Richard
Richard
There is a lot going on.
You have country by county reporting under your belt and a few others and you have like tax wealth policy, MMT and resource accounting cooking nicely and the hob – you’re doing really well just with those my dear fellow in my opinion. Understood.
Thanks
Please, do take all the time you need.
Your blog readers and comment writers won’t be going anywhere.
Switch off and rest in whatever way works best for you.
Thanks for all you do keeping everything going.
Rest well.
We are in a marathon.
Agree re comments- as the numbers will grow as awareness of FtF increases. 🙂
OK
Enjoy your well earned rest Richard, time for some quiet bird watching and being at one with nature.
