Chek-Chek-Chek It Out

Well, hello and welcome, dear reader. I've been doing things like going out in the fresh air and enjoying the occassional warm, sunny day in this pesky maritime-temperate NW European climate. Hence, I haven't been posting much. You can see that for yourselves, though. Oh well, I feel like I've let you down, and I've let myself down. I'll endeavour to ensure it doesn't happen again. Actually, that's not entirely true. I intend to loaf around some more first. Rather like Chekhov (think Russian literature, not Star Trek), who wrote:
"My most intense pleasure is to walk or sit doing nothing. My favourite occupation is picking useless stuff (leaves, straw, and so on) and doing useless things".

What a top bloke. In fact, I've dug up a load of quotes about idleness. I might put some more on here, but I can't be bothered today.
