Um, heading written down almost a month ago - today off work with a bug which I think was largely caught through it being too near the end of term for my body to fight anything off. Good job I'm not the sort who could spiritualise a cup of coffee.

Seriously though there are times when lots can be said for listening to the body and the body having more common sense than the brain. I was desperately hoping that my body would understand it had a 3 day window to be ill and that window starts about 1pm next Sunday afternoon, but alas no - it decided that I had pushed it far enough.

It is times like this I realise that my tendancy to try and factor in illness and stuff for convienience is not realistic though and is another sign of the way my generation views life. We spend so much time looking for windows we miss loads that cannot be scheduled and push ourselves beyond what is sensible in our busy lives.

I wonder if we relearnt the real meaning of leasure, rather than one set of activity replacing another, the figures in this Independant on Sunday article would be less alarming.
