one hundred and eighty!

Costa points, that is; about enough for another caramel shortbread.

I've noticed that after thirty plus years of working that 'doing nothing' can feel uncomfortable. It's very easy for doubt and guilt to wheedle their way in, but I try to resist these impostors. Better to sit still, read the papers (comment or arts pages, not the news - this is important), or just observe. Relaxation and peace of mind will come. It's a kind of mindfulness - observing and experiencing while avoiding the lure of attachment and unnecessary action.

Thus endeth today's lesson.
