Paradoxically, To Be Truly Idle, You Also

I Think It's Good To Look At How People Lived Before, And Then Take The Best Bits Of That Culture And Try To Mix It In With Your Own.

Beauty, Pleasure, Freedom And Plenty Of Sleep: These Are The Hallmarks Of A Successful Idler's Break. Travel Should Not Be Hard Work.

These Days We Seem More Bound To Our Bosses Than Ever Before. We Even Identify Our Own Selves With The Jobs We Do: "what Do You Do?" Is The First Question We Ask Each Other At Parties, As If A Job Title Could Express A Fundamental Truth About Our Personality.

Embrace The Faff. Stare Out Of The Window. Bend Paperclips. Stand In The Middle Of The Room Trying To Remember What You Came Downstairs For. Pace. Drum Your Fingertips. Move Papers Around. Hum. Look At The Garden.

I Would Like To Propose Slow Cycling. Commute By Bike. At A Stroke, You Remove The Need For And Absurd Cost Of Public Transport. Cycling Is Almost Completely Free. There Is No Longer Any Need For The Gym As You Get Fit By Cycling. And You Can Go At Your Own Pace.
