Employment versus unemployment

Working 9 to 5 – what a way to make a living…
Today is the first day of being officially unemployed. And because of my love for making lists, I thought I would give you all a nice list to encourage unemployment:

• No alarm is necessary
• Champagne for breakfast sitting in the sunny garden
• Still wearing pyjamas after noon
• Sunbathing all day – my plan is to be nice and tanned by the time we get to Berlin
• No need to wait for a phone call or watch the news
• Can practice Disney songs on the ukulele
• No need to carry passport and bag of emergency stuff if we pop out
• I can wear my shorts with flowers on them and no one will ever know (well, except the readers… ahem)
• Have a friend over in the middle of the day for a cuppa
• Dance in the kitchen to pop music
• Go for a cycle and swim
• Pop around to my brother’s for dinner and Catchphrase

However, it also means we have no excuse not to:

• Do all the paperwork for our move to Berlin
• Clean the house
• Do the gardening
• Write the blog

So yeah, we have time to hang out during the day. It feels amazing. If anyone is free in the mornings, do pop over. I received a lot of champagne for my birthday over the weekend and even though I’m thirsty, even I can’t drink all of that!
