There's a great quote, I've probably shared it before, how we don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing. Today was great because I had no agenda, I just had time for recreation. I had a couple of hours or so to spend in Leeds alone with no set outcome. So I wandered initially, then had a bit of a hang out in the cathedral. Opposite, unexpectedly and joyously, I spotted a Henry Moore institute, so enjoyed a mooch around there, accidentally ending up in the art gallery. There were paints out for kids. Remembering that I wanted a new welcome poster for my door as my last one had faded, I decided to do a spot of painting, only slightly embarrassed that I clearly had no child with me.
The city museum was also great for youngsters so I also had fun there, spelling my name out in Greek letters. The vegan cafe I'd identified in advance was all I wanted it to be and it's chocolate orange rice pudding was one of the highlights of my day, along with the delight that was the snow on Saddleworth Moor, so pretty.
I can highly recommend having unassigned leisure time, hope you get some soon :-)
