Annual leave

From tonight I start two weeks’ leave. Two weeks’ leave! Even if I still don’t know if I’m getting to go away anywhere, it’s still nice to have my time to myself for a fortnight… I can visit some exhibitions, have a drawing day or two, take some peaceful walks, see my family, bake a cake, have a beer with friends, and relax.

Given that the only rational response to the general election results and the associated press coverage is "We live in interesting times", I need to relax; otherwise I might start to scream and throw things.

Relax…
