Often, the things that a lot of work has gone into have been incredibly bad because they're over-worked.

In both word and deed, one of the greatest idlers of all time was John Lennon. In his songs we see repeated defences of simply lying around doing nothing.

In this age of getting what you want and getting it now, the simple pleasure of browsing is often forgotten.

I've never understood activity holidays since we seem to have far too much activity in our daily lives as it is. Find a culture where loafing is the order of the day and where they don't understand our need to be constantly doing things. Find somewhere you can have a hammock holiday.

Travelling fills me with dread.
