Morning 🤦‍♀️Silly me. Makes sense, I am relieved now 🙂I, as a bit of a perfectionist, always worry that I don’t do enough. Therefore I keep checking what others do here in the community. I love reading and receiving tips about what else I can do or if I better start doing something differently. Have a nice day.

Which probably means that you do too much (I'm not saying to stop commenting 🤣). We always try to do more than we should and eventually, we'll sit down for half an hour (if we're lucky) and realise that stopping is as important as doing 🙂

This would be mission impossible to say the least!

I totally agree with you about taking a breather and then going all in again. For me creating a unique post has at least two phases, capturing something the best way possible and then writing a story based on the images. Sometimes it is the other way around, I see a topic here in the community, I quickly pack my camera and then I take photos especially for it. Whatever formula for success one has, posting regularly helps as some members just appear and then disappear here. I personally don't want to disappoint my followers and leave them with no fresh content for a week let's say.

Like I do 🤣 In my head, I have lots of ideas. In my life, I have zero time. I used to have time. And in September when the-toddler-gorilla starts school (yikes!) then I'll have some time. Hopefully.

I feel like I'm always doing something and never achieving anything. It's exhausting.

Have you made your journey down to Pevensey yet?

You have achieved many things here on Steemit and you already made it a better place for the contributors. It is exhausting, yes, but we also can’t just sit around and do nothing really.

We are off to Pevensey first thing tomorrow morning. I did look at the castle you suggested online and we plan to check it out on a sunny day. They sell day tickets only which makes it easier not having to commit to an exact time slot. What about you and your family? Are there any bank holiday weekend adventures planned?

Did you have a nice time in Pevensey? Did you visit the castle?

We spent the weekend on Hayling Island with the larger family - it was utterly exhausting and we came very close to not making it there at all (I'll never come so close to a car crash without being in one). it was good though - I took the-toddler-gorilla swimming and he played with all of his cousins which is always great. I'm grateful that I can have a rest tomorrow 😴

We really enjoyed Pevensey and we got lucky with the weather as it didn’t rain at all. We visited the castle yesterday, before lunch. It has a lot to offer. The tower you take the wooden steps to is my favourite as it boasts stunning views. The Royal Oak, just outside the castle grounds has quite an exciting food menu and I totally recommend it.

It sounds like you had a wonderful long weekend with the big gorilla family. I am glad that you are safe and made it there. Was someone rushing to get somewhere and threatened the rest on the road? I wish I was having a relaxing day today but instead, here I am in the office already.

On a separate note, I was chosen for being the first orca here in WOX, so I also wanted to thank you for encouraging me to apply 🤝

I look forward to seeing your castle photos - I love a castle 🙂

The weekend was good but a little bit stressful. The drive was standard A27 dickishness. 2 lanes turning right, I'm in the left of the 2 and as I turn right, the guy outside me decides he's going straight on and powers down across my path at the last minute. You know it's close when the cars waiting at the roundabout are all grimacing. I ended up with a migraine on Sunday and this probably contributed to it. And the fact that I had to say to my family "I'm not leaving my 4 year old in a caravan being looked after by an 11 year old. That's what news headlines are made of!".

Madness.

So it could have been more relaxing for sure 🙂

Congratulations 🙂 I wasn't involved in the decision but I always fancied your chances!
