You might have gathered from the name of this site that I like to ruminate. Taking the time to think—especially away from technology—is important.

Every day at work, I go for a stroll through the surrounding woodland to stretch my legs, enjoy the sound of native birds and of course, ruminate.

During my walk today, I spotted this by the side of the road. ‘What a perfect opportunity!’, I thought, ‘Here’s the chance to ruminate on a lounge outside!’.

Whilst it was obviously missing cushions, which wasn’t an issue, a closer inspection revealed that the lounge was filthy. Alas, I continued my walk. Perhaps I should carry a portable chair for outdoor rumination in the future.
