"Take a short holiday Baldrick"

There's a famous scene from Blackadder where Baldrick has been rewarded for his efforts with a break from his toil:

Blackadder: "As a reward, Baldrick, take a short holiday... Did you enjoy it? Right; on your way."
That was a bit like my half term - which started at 8.15 and ended at 9.45 this morning. Cambridge terms are so short that there isn't really a chance for a breather in the middle. And there was me thinking that I'd get a 'reading week'. Not a chance. Should have gone to Bristol apparently.....

Oh well, Christmas soon - with visits to Ferndown, Boston and elsewhere. Roll on Easter. No, there's a mission trip to fit in there. Summer maybe? If I can squeeze anything in alongside a 4 week placement and other career enhancing opportunities.

The downside with this 2 year course is that the holidays aren't really holidays so much as space to fit in the non-timetabled requirements of my course.

I'm just going to check the Gospels to see if there's any evidence of Jesus having a mini-break. I think I know what the answer is going to be.

Well he sometimes took a boat to the other side of the lake - so maybe a quick cross channel ferry trip would be WJWD nowadays for a rest!
