Best Summer Vacation Since I Was a Teenager
Filed under: 
s adults, our perspective varies. To kids, summer means time off school. Everyone is the same in that respect. It means the liberty to do extracurricular things or nothing at all, maybe even just watching TV all day. In some jobs, summer is not different from the rest of the year because shops or services must be available all year long, except maybe Xmas Day and Boxing Day. This means that one’s holidays or days off depend on one’s choice of “dates to book”.
This year we decided to start the long break after the first week of August and in order to avoid boredom I read and I write a lot, I do more exercise, and I try to enjoy the warm(er) weather.
Two days in, this feels like the best break in my adult life. No impending deadlines, no “back to school”, and more time spent with animals.
