Travel from lethargy to Brighton for £1

Doctors used to recommended trips away for recuperation and it still works. Granted, I'm not ill, but I'm already feeling healthier purely from being in a different environment. You could be too, even if you're as broke as I am: It only costs £2 return.

As I write this I'm sitting in a coffee bar in Brighton (7 Feb), drinking the most decadent coffee ever: Espresso with vanilla syrup and hot chocolate, topped with whipped cream. It's delightful.

I've been a bit lax lately with planning my life, but this is a good thing. As much as you plan things, the unexpected happens: People get ill and cancel on you, money runs out and you struggle to make ends meet, GoogleMaps confuses you and you get lost…

At the end of the day the thing to do seems to be: Decide what the important things in your life are, put all your energies in to making those work and relax/chill about all the rest.

I spent most of the day wandering around Brighton. I got lost almost immediately (although I didn't realise it at first), which won't surprise those of you who know of my legendary navigational skills (or, rather, my lack thereof).

I had all my luggage with me, so that hindered my travels a little. However, if I'd checked in I might have been tempted to just stay in the hotel. Plus, if I hadn't had my bags with me, I wouldn't have gone seeking the Jubilee library.

Never did find the library, incidentally.

I highly recommend taking a mini-break like this, especially if you've been feeling stressed of late: Just taking a day out would make a big difference and it only costs £1 each way, provided you book early enough from National Express; Megabus do something similar.

I highly recommend it, Brighton in particular. Don't forget to chill!

Admin: Sorry for the inconsistency in the frequency of updating. I've been in Brighton over the weekend and what with my essays I haven't been able to plan entries in advance. Will do better, especially when this bout of essays is over next month, thank you for sticking with me.
