Following my theme of late, to publish a new take on an old post about walks at this time of year from three years ago, my walk this week looks back at an urban lakeside amble which I remember enjoying in between meetings on a working day.
I can’t help feeling that the southern European habit of having a siesta – a reasonable break in the middle of the working day – and then extending that day by an hour or two at the end, is healthier for both mind and body than the 10 – 12 hour shifts we do with just 15 minutes break in every five hours.
I always have a low energy point after lunch break and do not work as efficiently afterwards for an hour or so. Maybe I’m southern European by nature – perhaps I should move to the south of France, that would be nice!
As with all my walks, the sound is almost the most important memory trigger for the occasion.
