I quite like doing nothing. It’s one of my hobbies. When people ask me what I want to do – granted, nobody really asks me this these days – I always say “anything”. And by “anything”, I mean “nothing”.
However, if there is one thing I like better than doing nothing, it is doing nothing with other people. Unfortunately, I am also finding it harder these days to find anyone willing to do nothing with me.
