I find more & more that relaxing is detrimental. We’re having a few more holidays now due to fewer commitments but after a while on a sun lounger if it’s as if my body is saying “What the feck are you doing? You’re supposed to be bending here, lifting this, stretching for that etc”. So many years of active, physical employment has conditioned my body to bastard complain if I’m trying to have a break. Oh well, carry on regardless it is
