I’m now relaxed to the point of being horizontal, and slow, and calm. I’ve been in Italy for a week now, and haven’t been at work (in the office) since last Wednesday.
I don’t think I could get to the same degree of relaxation elsewhere. When I’m in Edinburgh, no matter what, I’ve always got my TV around me and tend to have it on every evening (one Saturday a few weeks ago I didn’t have it on all day, incl. the evening, and it was quite difficult!).
Placing myself into a situation away from it all therefore does me good. Of course, I still have my computer, and the internet. But I’ve hardly got it on when out here, and generally I find I deal with the absence of technology and gadgets very well indeed.
I might even stop using technology altogether. Some day.
