Walkin back to happiness...


Nu Zulun shuts down over what is called the silly season. The TV networks set the tone. Morning news disappears to be replaced by endless reruns of inane programmes that numb the mind and savage the soul.

The beauty of this, however, is being forced off one’s arse. After all, one may discover that TV viewing has ceased to be compulsory. So I thank the networks for their kind reminder of this. An alternative to arse-sitting is walking. Race walking – real race-walking, not only helps to give a more shapely arse, but also get those endorphins flying around in the brain. This are opiate-like peptides that make you feel good!

And so one springs outside into the sunlight uplands of where I live and stride down to the golden sands but minutes away.

This summer, I have finally begun to learn the fine art of laziness without guilt.
