indeed, there is no need to do formal mentoring, it was just a thought. it's good that you have some contact with children, i really value it when i do, they can be very refreshing in homeopathic doses.

i was taught by the late jeff nuttall, who was a rabid generalist, he wrote, played jazz, did performance art, painting, all sorts. he died while i was too ill to have noticed, and then it was even too late to go to his funeral, nevertheless i still honour his memory.
