Holiday Thoughts
Posted: Mon 19 September, 2016 Filed under: D4D™, Domestic, Getting Organised, Travel 4 Comments »As I said before, I’m away at the end of the month on a break to Cornwall. And as usual, it makes me do a bundle of thinking.
I am, I totally acknowledge, utterly shit at taking proper holidays. Always have been, and I suspect always will be. I want to do more of it and see how things go, but it’s about balancing that with work and so on. I need to be stricter with myself on it too – there’s two options really.
Basically, I either book dates at the start of the year so they’re a fait accompli, or I’m stricter with myself about taking holidays between contracts by forcing a delay on looking for new ones by taking time between jobs. Honestly, I don’t know which option works best for me, so that’ll be something to work on next year.
As it is, I’m just seeing how stuff goes this time. I want to see how everything works out with this break. There’s been a fair amount of preparation going on, as I’ve said before – but it’s also about seeing how I feel with taking the break, and also how the cats handle it. This week away will be the longest they’ve not had me around, and I want to see how they deal with it, and with my return. They’ll probably be OK, but if they descend into vileness and retribution, I’ll have to rethink.
So all told, it’s going to be a bit interesting. I’m looking forward to it, but also somewhat anticipatory. It’ll be interesting to see how it all goes.
Whereabouts in Cornwall? Just curious, we go every year to Penzance/Mousehole are and the Scillies. I’d move there like that (*snaps fingers*) if I had the chance
Just outside Truro. So a decent place to explore the rest from.
I’ve only been once before, which was down to Penzance, but be interesting to see how it goes.
I know Truro hospital well – spent 3 days there when our youngest fell off a harbour wall :/ but not the rest of town. As you say, that’s a good base to explore. Great walking country
I’d forgotten about that!
