It was quite odd not to look at anything online for almost three days. I could
technically have used my phone but the signal was barely there either and I
chose not to bother trying to find a better one when we visited what passed for
civilization in those parts. It was really nice not to have to think about
looking stuff up for once, although I think three days was
probably enough.
Anyway, we had a great time, the weather was unbelievably good for the time of year and Beryl went crazy when we took her to the seaside, which we did twice. It was worth the trip just for that.
We're back now and what passes for normal service will be resumed tomorrow.
Probably. If I'm in the mood and if I have time after I've picked up the more
than a hundred apples that fell onto the lawn in the time we were away.
Literally. I counted a hundred and thirty before I gave up.

It's hard to believe how dependent I am on internet access now. I cannot do my job without it anymore, and even from a "what do I do if I have some spare time" I start to get nervous at the idea of going without it for more than a few days. However, oddly enough, the times that I have been without on the last few years (both times because of a move while I was waiting on a technician to arrive and set it up) I actually got used to it really quickly and found it relaxing. I read books and played offline games, like in the olden days.
ReplyDeleteI suspect I would enjoy a no-internet apocalypse more than I think I would, even if the idea horrifies me.
Well, most of us managed to entertain ourselves and keep in touch perfectly well before the worldwide web so I imagine we'd be fine. I'd still rather not test the theory, though!
