Inspired by The Other Andrew, and Tom, here’s an insight into my life’s purpose. Your Life Path Number is 5 Your purpose in life is to life freely and collect experiences. You love life – new adventures, new people, new ideas. You are very curious, and you crave novelty in all forms. You tend to make friends easily, and you enjoy the company of all types of people. In love, you are fun and even…
The thing about life is the more you do the less time you have to write about it. I’ll write properly, and more regularly, in the next few days and especially when I go on holiday next week, but in the meantime, here’s a summary of what I’ve been up out and what I’m planning out of work hours… Friday Night – caught up with some people from work for a few drinks. Saturday –…
