Today I booked some Leave. While this probably doesn’t sound all that interesting to most, it’s actually created slight anxiety in Simon-land.

I’m out of practice with taking non-stats time. In 2020 I only had one day off…

Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a hero complex (still, you can refer to me as a hero if you want/need to), I just have spent too much time by myself these last couple of years. So more time by myself, albeit in a different setting, isn’t that appealing.

Which leads me to options. What are they? And no I won’t be flying to Australia – I’m still aware of budgets…

I’m considering a road trip from Christchurch to Dunedin. A roadie to Hawke’s Bay. Haven’t been to Gisborne for a lifetime.

Suggestions welcomed. Please. (Travel is in early June).
