Annual Leave

When is annual leave not officially a holiday? When you take a few days and don't go away anywhere. I've been tired, getting irritated and bored with work so I took a few days because my sister was down in London from Dundee with baby. Been doing the family thing with her and pops. Its been very relaxing. But she has been sleeping in the room with the computer so I haven't managed to post anything for the last three days.
