Hey there, Mr Blue Sky

When on holiday, I'm a do-er. I always have been. In a museum, in a gallery, up a tower, walking across a hillside... definitely not lazing in bed all day, or sitting still. Sunbathing? Wouldn't thank you for it.

However, I think I'm getting old. I'm also, these days, probably working harder than I ever have. Longer hours, plus I'm more contactable when not in the office. I've also given up dicking about online when at work: if I'm in the office, I'm working. Some nights I dream about spreadsheets. The idea of doing nothing is becoming more appealing.

Right now, I'm lazing (admittedly in the shade) on a sunny roof terrace. With a beer (plus the little dish of the nuts that this jolly civilised place provides as standard). We didn't make it back to the museum, where the next tour in a language we could both understand was 5pm. We're just... sitting. And I'm ok with that.

It sounds lovely! Just sitting is sometimes the best possible use of time

Doing nothing sounds lovely. As does sunshine.

[You(')r(e) nuts, madam...]
I bet the salty comestibles are to provoke you to drink more...
