The weekend
Sunday 25th July 2010 7:52 pm
This weekend I've been quite productive. I have:
- Defrosted the fridge (it was desperate - but now my back and legs ache from it
- Wrote 10 drabbles for the 100 drabbles - I'm now up to 51, so over halfway there!
- Watched all of The Chase commentary, which was really interesting. My lovefilm rental list now consists of The Avengers, Ewan MacGregor films and a whole load of stuff they won't give me
- Watched two episodes of The Prisoner - I have four left on my PVR, although there's another one on tomorrow
Friday I went to the pub at lunch and then to a different pub after work. I was really dizzy after all that pubbing and not enough relaxing. Even though I sat with my back to most of the room, so I couldn't see much movement. The reason for going after work was to see someone who left in December to go travelling and she'd come back to visit for the afternoon.
I have sometimes wondered if I've missed out by not going travelling, but I wouldn't want to give up my job (especially during a recession) and before I got it I wouldn't have been confident enough to go. Now I can say that I haven't missed out at all. Most of the places she went to I've either been to or don't want to go to. With the exception of New Zealand, which is a hard place to get to, partly because it is the furthest away from here you can go, and also because there are too many people to see in Australia. So I'm happy just seeing the world a couple of weeks at a time - which is generally plenty because I need to go home for a rest after that.

I agree with you re: travel - I totally need a rest after a couple of weeks! (But that's why I need to move countries: trips from Aus are just too exhausting/too far.)
(Also, this is my 3rd attempt at posting a comment: using OpenID seems to eat it.  Just in case it's something that you can control?)

Moving countries sounds more logical - plus you have money while you do it! I can imagine travelling being good in that you get used to not working, but you can't do that forever.
OpenID worked the last time I tried it, but that was a long time ago, so I will have a look at it. I should be able to fix it... But you can always comment at my LJ or DW, since this is crossposted to both.
