And then the rest of the time I was on the phone.
Yeah, rest of the time.
Other time.
One of those holidays, like a literal holiday, which I have never done.
I've never been to an island and just taken a pile of books and read books and that's all I did.
So it was great.
Look, I think one of the first things is I'm going through this transition right now about how much time we should be spending reading books and reconnecting a little more analogue in the world.
And so that just reminded me more than anything about how we need to be really focused right now about sort of breaking digital connections and getting back into real world.
And I think just that process of the joy of lying and reading a book was a big part of that.
But also I'm spending a lot of time thinking about what's happening in the world around AI, of course.
And the oil crisis is pretty big up there right now too about what that would look like if it all goes horribly wrong.
I'm very much the hiking, trekking adventure, often by myself, you know, going somewhere where I can get off the bend track.
So this was actually quite a different holiday.
And actually, I was meant to be in Europe.
And actually, the only reason I'm not in Europe this month is because of the oil crisis.
There were just too many variables and too many possibilities that it could make it really tricky to get back.
So I decided actually I'll stay closer to home.
And I'm heading off to Australia tomorrow morning and just doing local holidaying for my month off.
Is it a month off?
It's a Francis month off.
