Dear Val,
I was working in Lagos, Nigeria (as I had been for many years) when the French 35 hour week started. I said to my colleague 'Bayo, "you know, 'Bayo, we probably do 35 hours by Wednesday evening." We are both architects, working for ourselves and loving our work. I am still working part-time at 76 and still loving it. Someone (Henry Ford?) once said there are those who work to live and those who live to work - our practice only employs the latter.
