Surfing Sandwiches

Life's pretty busy at the moment, and not without excitement. It's too easy though, to forget to play. Last week I was talking to a couple of friends who are senior folk in the world of sustainable change - one's a Prof at a leading Universtity and the other a UK Environmental Director for an international business. Neither had taken holiday this year.

For too many weeks I've been early to rise and late to bed, writing programme bids, proposals and emails to get government and business to step up to the challenge of real change. I've not been playing much either, so it was a delight, a relief, and a great energiser to go for a surf yesterday lunchtime for a couple of hours. Half a dozen friends were at Whitesands too, taking a break from work. It was warm and sunny; add 4' waves, and Wednesdays don't get much better.

I'll be doing it more often. Lunch breaks are good.
