Holiday time

It is refreshing to know that during holiday time, regimes can change and often a new lease of life can be accommodated after the mundane drudgery of the ubiquitous working week. This week alone, I have been getting up at a more leisurely 9am and wandering down to breakfast debating as to what to eat, unlike the norm when porridge is the order of the day. Mainly for speed. So what did I have this morning, .....porridge!! well I like it ( he said indignantly) however I did push the tug boat out with a dish of sauteed mushrooms, sausages and a poached egg on toast. This you will understand is not usual, however on days when I can suit myself, it is nice to do something completely different. In the summer months it is quieter and life tends to be so for me, as well. My wife told me to go for a walk the other day and you can't disagree with her, it helps to keep the digestion and body working properly. Why are woman always right? Is it that innate desire in them to want the best for their loved ones? I would like to think it is, well in my wife's case that is a strong point for her. Family is the closest thing we have to genuine and honest support in our lives although I am aware that this is not always the case in some family environments. Holiday time is a period for robust and genuine reflection of your life and relationships, it makes me appreciate how lucky I am to have such great support and love from those closest to me. The shackles of work are released albeit for two weeks and there is more of a chance to let my hair down. The charging of my batteries and life are paramount in an otherwise cut throat and tense ridden world outside the four walls of my house and land. The garden at this time is a lovely sight with all the shrubs and plants vying for the sun and in some cases the rain to promote their appearance and vitality. Yes two weeks of solitude and relaxation will do very nicely. !!
