TAPESCRIPT: I have to work with computers and phones all the time in my work, either sitting in front of a screen or living by the apps on my mobile. I like to use phones. Now with Facebook, Twitter, and so on, I have to use social networking sites more often. I feel so sticked to technology during the working week. So when the weekend comes, on Saturday morning – there’s nothing I like better than switching off the computer, the mobile and the landline and enjoying real peace and quiet. We live near to some fields and open country, and I can listen to the birds sing, go for long walks, maybe drop in at our local pub and have a drink with some of the locals. It’s not exciting, but it’s very relaxing and helps me remember I’m a human being, not a part of some machine. Of course, by Sunday night I’m already thinking about the working week ahead, but never mind. I’ve had those two days to recharge myself.
