What do you do when you have four days off and don't go anyhere?

The OP was poetry and is complete bliss.

This is the only downside to home working for me. When I was office based I used to indulge in days like magicpole has portrayed. I loved nothing more than loading up on good food and wine, locking the door and having no contact with anyone for a few days.

It just isn’t the same when you are already at home where your work station is.

I am currently on holiday for 4 days. No plan even considered to go away and I will tell you why.

To me, there are pleasures in life that don't get the credit they deserve. .

Being in your house, alone all day. Free from the need to chat. To do anything you don't want to. You can get treats in, good food, watch what you want. I sat out in my garden after I put food out for my freeloading Pheasant, Golden Shoulders, a pair of Robins, finches, Blue Tits and a Woodpecker, I call Woody, I'm so left field. The smaller birds and Golden Shoulders arrived and I sat with a cup of coffee and a herbal rollup and it was magic.

My apple trees are flowering and looking fantatmstic and my cat is sitting beside my chair, eyes fixed on the birds feeding, but she stays put when the pheasant is there. She looks at me and makes, complaining meows. Pure ragin.

Its a bit chilly when the wind blows and today, its on a constant loop. No problem though, thats why wooly jumpers were invented. And I was esconsed in the expertly made; woollen said jumper and oblivious to that cunting wind.

I made a great lunch, put on a movie and am deciding what sweet treat to have with a cup of tea.

I will repeat a variation of today everyday and feel like I've made the right choice. I have only said a few words to the cat. She doesn't answer, or seek further clarificatio. , Bliss. .

Whats you favourite way to spend a few days off.

The only time television should be switched on in the daytime is when Bargain Hunt is showing

People can and do spend big money doing exactly that

I had a week off in December when the missus was at work and kid was at school. I was tired after a long year working and did absolutely nothing other than take the dog for a walk and watch films and stuff. I love it. I don’t have a need to be doing loads of stuff all the time.

Spot on. If I have a few days off then I make sure one of them is a lie in followed by doing f-all if possible. It's important to recharge the batteries, and more so as we age.

Getting blazed with a pheasant is part council estate, part Sandringham estate.

Its the Magic Estate, no sound of traffic, apart from the odd tractor. Only the sound of birds, or the tunes you stick on..The wind has fucked off too and the big yellow thing is back. Unfettered by Scottish clouds. Who knew

Currently stting having great coffee and the birds have gathered, all sitting thinking, when is that doss **** going to feed us. Soon my lovelies, soon.

its not easy deciding what type of fuck all to get up to.

I work in Edinburgh, which seems to jam pack hordes of people all visiting. Its hustle and bustle and traffic and noise. To leave that behind and come out here is actually redemptive. When I moved out here at first, I wondered if I could cope with it. Now its could I cope without it. It is also the reason I don't have the need to get away as often, as I did as a city dweller.I have a longer journey to work. That's it. If you could see what I am looking at right now, Golden Shoulders is sitting on the bird feeding table. Its sunny, I'm looking onto hills, that journey is worth every second.

Cant beat it, we live in the sticks and a traffic jam is usually a tractor trying to get round a camper van.

I do that every day. It would be criminal not to. Too many people depend on it for a boost to their day. It isn't easy having that, as well as gorgeous hair, on my shoulders.
