I’ve just sent the last Friday Fax, after almost 11 years of translating and distributing it. It is a sad moment; I’ve been involved in encouraging thousands of people for many years, and now it’s over. I’ve already received a number of messages thanking me for the work I’ve put in, which is gratifying.
It’s also a relief in some ways; it was sometimes hard to find time to translate it and get it sent out on deadline, particularly when my projects at work were in a tough phase. There were times when I got home after midnight, translated the Friday Fax – which generally took an hour – and got up in time to catch the 6:10 a.m. bus. I will not miss that part! Thankfully, that was far from the norm. I’ll enjoy having the extra few hours each week, nonetheless.
I’ll be publishing past issues at www.bufton.net/fridayfax, for anyone who is interested.
