Relaxing

Usually I average a book every two days on holiday. This holiday I managed just half of my excellent birthday book as there was a tiny person present who needed just about everything explaining to her. No time for idle reading. Luckily there was a lot of eating and a lot of sunshine - two out of three isn't too bad I suppose.

I am notoriously bad at relaxing at home. That doesn't mean that I can't be peaceful or happy  - it just means that normally I have to be engrossed in my work to feel truly calm. Of course I lie on the sofa and watch drivel on TV - but I always feel a little on edge because there is so much I could be doing and it would be so much more productive to be doing it. I am a guilty relaxer. I am trying to train myself out of this annoying habit and I am getting better. C helps a lot because you just have to live in the moment with a baby or they grow and you realise that you haven't cuddled/played/watched/kissed them enough.

On holiday, however, I am entirely guilt free. It's wonderful.
