Apparently there is now something amiss if you are not stressed out.
Unless you spend your "free time" - ie not in your place of work. Running around, driving hundreds of miles, hardly having time to breathe , then you are very dull.
When I had a long weekend recently a work colleague asked whether I'd had a good time. "yes, brilliant" I replied. "oh?" said she "did you go away?", "no" says me. " on Saturday I cleaned and washed and tidied, in the afternoon I did some garden tidy up". - frown number one appeared on her face.
"Saturday night I cooked us a roast chicken with all the trimmings, and made an apple tart". I say with proud smile "oh what a shame you couldnt go out to eat" says she.
"on Sunday we went for a long walk, and in the afternoon I read my book and then watched a weepy film on TV"
"on the Monday, I sorted out some old photos and scanned them onto the computer, made some scones and had a very long bath"
"so you didnt do anything, there's a pity" said she. and proceeded to tell me how "terribly busy" she'd been, with "no time" (see other blog post) to anything like housework, cooking, relaxing or gardening.
