Holiday mode

After finishing up work for the year almost two weeks ago, today I finally got into the holiday mode of doing nothing for most of the day. It was actually the first time in ages that I've done that, and to be honest I think doing nothing is overrated. All it really does is create anxiety about the things I could (should?) be doing instead. Perhaps we need days like this occasionally, but personally I'm not sure it's a good thing. Maybe I should have found some housework or something that needed doing.

I did get an early morning ride to Springbrook (sort of) with Martin. That was pleasant. Finally got to see my ultra-efficient new tyres in action today. They made quite a difference, although it was more noticeable on the descents than anywhere else. This ride basically had to be completed early so I could get indoors and give my sunburn from the previous day a chance to heal. Still, it was pleasant while I was there. One of these days I need to spend an entire day up at Springbrook.
