I’ve spent much of the last three weekends digging a big hole in our back garden, so that we can get some flat land onto which to build a garden shed. The hard manual labour involved in the digging and disposing of five-or-so tonnes of soil and clay has had a wonderful effect on my [...]
My interaction with the world is governed absolutely by logic.
