Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering! I had one of those "just going along" days, where you are simply glad to be a live. There is an undercurrent that winter is upon us, the cafes and restaurants have changed their opening hours! But today is a very sunny day. I cycled into Ouchy for lunch - a pizza! Then along the lakeside to St Sulpice, a small hamlet set in the most serene of settings. Had a coffee at the only cafe in St Sulpice, sat outside taking in the heat of the afternoon sun. Then returned to Ouchy where I stopped for another coffee - it was 5.00 pm and still the sun was hot. returned home feeling utterly relaxed! Idleness is not doing nothing.
