The precious weeks
I’m listening to an audiobook at the moment about a man who has so far sailed 300,000 miles on the Sea. He’s a very good writer called John Kretschmer. This is one of his gems: “Time is the currency of our life—how we spend it defines our existence” He said something else that’s really hit me. On average humans live 4,000 weeks. My Dad lived 2,650 weeks before his body packed up. My amazing Granny managed 5,250 weeks (she died at 101). I reckon I am on about 2,750 weeks alive
