24 December

I'm ambivalent about holidays, have never liked the split between work and leisure; both are weird ideas. I prefer the idea of routine, to replace both of them. Habits. Habits save energy, and produce calm. One of the reasons I think travel as 'getting away from it all' is mostly a myth, most tourism transplants home routines (badly) somewhere else. People 'need a holiday' I think because our world of work lacks routine and is therefore exhausting and stressful.
