This and other whims

I'm not rolling on the grass in the garden But I did have an urge to I'm outside now in the hammock (in boots) Immediately after that thought Plenty of things stopped me: - the grass was wet - rolling is weirdly difficult - my garden is overlooked It's interesting to note what stops us reacting to our urges We don't need to tell the world, but we should probably mull it over Check whether any of them need fulfilling Pretty sure I won't be on my side when I hear what I put a stop to I nearly went to Paris for the day at the weekend, feel like that kind of behaviour I should encourage I also tried to stay in bed half the day but I kiboshed that idea too I'll perhaps arrange a meeting with myself, negotiate a little Fritter away a little less time I'll report back when at whim level: grass roll Do keep me posted yourself :)

Some of the best times I have is when I’m frittering away time Dilly, switch off and let the world take care of itself, oh to be a kid again and not have to worry about the garden being overlooked, although after the grass roll you might get the urge to try out bigger urges, lol! A lot to think about in this post, cheers David

Haha I'd better write up my do and don't list double quick before I have to move due to my antics lol. There is a delight to the frittering of time, I'm sure I read it's good for you to fritter a day a week. I need to put the air track away when I get in, I might roll on the grass whilst I'm at it and tick it off my list.

We can't be inhibited by the need for the correct attire John. I'll work on a whims do's and don'ts list lol. I only didn't go to Paris because I'd decided I'd only do it if I found a flight for £40 - so budget is in there. Although a whim-ing suit could certainly give me a devil may care attitude (and protect me from wet grass)
