Ah yeah, I think it's on planes here too though I've not been on a plane since before the pandemic.

I know how that feels - especially when you feel as though people are waiting on you. I guess that's when it starts to stop being a hobby and start being a job, then the fun can drain away. 

For me I have to stop feeling obliged to fix problems and add features, people are free to run something else if what i've made doesn't fit their purpose, they could even add the feature themselves if they really wanted it.

Having said that, it's not like I don't want to help solve problems and add features, I just have to do it on my own time and not rush thinking someone is there tapping their foot urging me to hurry up.

It's all in my head though really, I don't experience people wanting me to hurry up - perhaps some kind of anxiety related thing.

I wonder if it's similar to running a popular net? 

 > Not really, there are still some leaves on trees that would have lost them 6 weeks ago... but it is now cold, we're burning firewood each night and there's some talk of a polar blast next weekend and possible snowfall to lower levels... but overall it's certainly been a milder winter and autumn so far... how about you?

I don't know to be honest. I don't really keep track of the weather, except to say that it's been cold that last few days / weeks. Yesterday was cold but it didn't rain until night time, so we could have got some washing done (but didn't because thinking it might rain) today we're doing washing, and hoping it doesn't rain.
