Idle Time

I've been rereading a book that I discovered earlier this year called How to be free by Tom Hodgkinson (there is also a website called The Idler www.idler.co.uk) which I think is fantastic. To quote the website - 'How To Be Free takes an anarchic approach to the everyday barriers that come between us and our dreams'. That makes it sound a bit like a wanky self-help book, which it definately is not - its more an exploration of how to unshackle our hearts and minds from the restrictions that 'modern' living seems to place on us - or more to the point, we place on ourselves. Basically its about living well, which is what my blog is about too.

Today I've woken up with a cold so I'm rather pleased to say that I am spending the day at home surfing the net and sipping Earl Grey tea. The most glorious thing in the world - guilt free idle time!
