I agree that walking is a great way to meditate or at least put your thoughts in order. I often come up with ideas for my writing while walking along my local river.
Speaking of turning a hobby into a side job, as I love walking and urban exploration, I sometimes work as a tourist guide, though I must say that depending on my clients, it's not a very relaxing job.
I confess I'm irresistibly attracted to old British TV shows. In the past I enjoyed both "Man About the House" and its spin-off series "George and Mildred." More recently, I had fun with "Father Ted" and the controversial "Love Thy Neighbour." And being someone who teaches Italian and English as a second language, I'm currently enjoying "Mind Your Language," another series that today would be considered very un-PC.
Wow.... 'Love thy Neighbour' - how did they ever get that made? And it is a show I will not be revisiting.
Father Ted is interesting as a number of phrases and ideas used in the show have now made it into every day use. "Drink, feck. Nuns!", "Down with that sort of thing (Careful now)", "These are small, but the ones out there are far away", "That money was just resting in my account" etc.
I think the original idea was to hold a mirror in front of the viewers (some viewers, at least) and say "Hey mate, that's you I'm talking about." I know, completely misguided and ultimately offensive... I guess there must be something wrong with me but I find the show funny.
