The importance of being idle

Sometimes weekends should be like this. Forget the shopping, and the myriad of soul destroying other tasks that should could be done and  spend one day just loafing and doing things that just let you "be".

"Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering" .  ~Pooh's Little Instruction Book, inspired by A.A. Milne

Best ingredients for an idle day

• When you only have 2 minutes in the day do this exercise.
• Watching back-to-back episodes of your favourite tv show in bed is wonderfully decadent. I'm watching Call the Midwife - set in London's East End in the 1950's and the most heart warming tv show in years.
• Walking in nature is a simple pleasure that connects exercise with fresh air, freedom and space.
