Following the travails reported in last month’s abbreviated roundup and my mid-month update with better news, I should say that things are stable enough at home now. Despite another step change in Florence’s care needs, I (with Sharon’s full support) remain fully committed to my published autumn schedule below, the first event of which takes place next week.

Speaking engagements aside, let me point out that the Autumn LIKE cohort begins September 30th – just four weeks on Tuesday! The in-person version in Copenhagen/Malmö takes place on November 3rd and 4th, and there are two different trainings planned for two different cities in India in December.
