“It’s not a proper weekend unless you spend your time doing something totally pointless” said Calvin (the cartoon character accompanied by his toy tiger Hobbes, not the theologian, that is). While I don’t entirely agree, there is a particular pleasure to just doing nothing much. After a hectic few weeks rushing around and writing essays and stuff, it’s nice to have a couple of days just to stop. Today I’ve played a bit of Icewind Dale 2, wandered into the town centre to buy some sweets and check the Red Cross Shop for any interesting second-hand books and now come to the town library. Not planned, just wandering about, enjoying not rushing and not working and not worrying.

I suppose I better start actually doing some work sometime soon. I’ve got a couple of essays to write and stuff to read for university. Later in the week I’m returning to work at Kwik Save. But for now, I’m busy doing nothing, and loving it.
