We came back yesterday from a proper holiday at Torrent Bay in the Abel Tasman National Park. We actually stopped and didn't do anything. It was perfect. It is a long time since we actually stopped. Sometimes on holiday we seem to be just as pressured and busy as when we are working. We are rushing to get somewhere, and then rushing to get back. At Torrent Bay there is no electricity and no roads, so we got there by boat and had no reason to rush round and do anything after we arrived. We want to do more of this kind of holiday.
I've done one whole heap of washing since getting home. With no electricity there are no washing machines but there is still a lot of dirt. I'm getting on top of it now, but the weather hasn't been all that helpful today.
I've checked our bank accounts and we are suddenly impoverished so my fantastic lifestyle of see-it-like-it-buy-it is over again. Still, I have the toys to prove it, which is better than having nothing to show for it. We should be able to fix the situation fairly quickly compared to the slow slog of the past, but it will still hurt leaving things in shops.
