Holiday time

Finally, I'm taking some holiday. I haven't actively taken holiday since Berlin (although I will admit to being hungover and actually just not doing any work for a day). Taking a holiday when you're freelance is really bloody difficult. Mainly because no one pays you to sit on your ass all day.

But I don't care. I'm taking a few days off next week, which will coincide with all of my birthday fun, and make sure I get some time to myself before the manic wintery months (really, I have eight parties in the next week - I apologise in advance if I bail on half of them).

I wrote a little while ago that I really wanted to see more theatre. So I am! Yay! Last night, around in the morning, I found myself buying matinee tickets for Breakfast at Tiffany's and An Inspector Calls. Two plays that I've wanted to see for months. I paid £10 for each ticket so I'm even more excited.

The rest of my time off? Just me stuff. Popping to the cute little market in Piccadilly to replace the pretty glasses my housemate broke, mooching about areas of London I haven't been to before. Going to lunch with friends. Reading books! READING BOOKS! And just generally having fun. Nothing major, just hanging out without stressing about the website or finding more work. And generally avoiding daytime TV.

Time to stop, time to be smiley. The world won't stop just because I'm taking a few days off.

I can't wait.
