Life continues to be relaxing. In particular, it rather carefully helped me relax for the last day or so by means of my broadband connection going down! It's just come back and NTL haven't rung me back as promised, which might mean I have to proactively phone them up and let them know that sending an engineer to get me out of bed tomorrow won't be necessary after all.

Actually sitting on the sofa physically all day would get tedious even in relaxation mode, so I'm pottering about the house doing tidying and organisational stuff. In particular, I've just catalogued my book collection, with the vague aim of using the catalogue as a who's-borrowed-what notepad among other things. In the process I discovered another practical use for a digicam: take snaps of each bookcase in the lounge, then go through to the study and type the catalogue up while referring to the pictures. Much better than running back and forth between rooms repeatedly with as many book titles as will fit in my head at once.

I fear, however, that even this is displacement activity to avoid the really daunting stuff, such as clearing up the study and cleaning out my ever-present rucksack of random useful stuff. Oh well. At least there's no pressure on me to do any of it.
