My father always had a 10 minute nap after lunch - 'just closing my eyes for ten minutes' he would say so I have obviously picked up the habit from him - I even did it when I was at work. I would sit in my car with my lunch - listen to the Archers then 'close my eyes for ten minutes' - revitalised and ready to go.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812046665751901579.post-44048039012533991502015-05-03T10:40:44.032+01:002015-05-03T10:40:44.032+01:00Thanks Cro.

I'm retired too, but my days are fully booked with things I 'must do', no actually I 'want to do'. I really should slow down, but it's not easy. Love the way you spend your day, I always feel guilty when I'm reading a book by day, that should not be so.
