Why Friday evening? I’m a freelancer, so I don't define my work hours that way, I work whenever I have work and 40 years on, I have no trouble switching off…

P.S. Everything changes! During the "golden years" of translation, I wouldn’t take on work at the weekend, but now that work has been scarce, my children left home a long time ago, I live alone and I like to keep myself busy, weekend work is more than welcome…
