Holiday mode is
slinking around the house in sleepwear all day
being unchained to the clock/diary
children in the house: noise, noise, noise
languid reading on the couch, lolling a la Gatsby’s Daisy Buchanan
sapping heat, flies, vigilance against mossies
peeling sunburn in long thin strips
dog-walking timetabled around temperature instead of around appointments
time to dip into my own novel
