I had a secret holiday this week. No one knows except work and one family member. I’m slowly coming out of my brainfog despite doing nothing but sleeping more and catching up with TV series. Health-wise it’s a downturn; there’s only so much beef jerky and marmite crumpets a man should eat, but it’s been glorious.

I plan to take more secret holidays this year. I love my family very much, but people make plans on your time and sometimes you just need a buffer.
