To Sit and Stare

Our recent day trips to the beach and our afternoons running through the park in the sunshine have done me so much good! Lately I've been feeling a bit depressed, felt cooped up and wanting to get away from it all. I've really needed a holiday. Hopes for our forthcoming Spanish holiday have (for me) centred around wangling as much time as I can to just sit and stare blankly at nothing whilst the sun shines down on my head... sitting on a beach, sitting on a hilltop, sitting eating food, sitting digesting food... staring mindlessly at the sea, staring mindlessly at my tapas, staring mindlessly at Charles. This was my ultimate wish!

But suddenly I don't feel the need to do the mindless thing any more. Well OK, maybe a bit! But I also feel like doing some sightseeing and other things too. I feel like exploring Spanish caves, hiking up those hills that I'm going to sit atop, maybe even visiting an aquarium or an art gallery. Hey, Spain - fun!

Obviously spending some time away from it all in the open air, even just for an afternoon, is good for the soul!
