"It’s the city that produced Joni Mitchell, The Weeknd, and… Justin Bieber. And it was home to Meghan Markle, prior to her royal life, while filming Suits – but don’t hold that against them. Nestled along the shores of Lake Ontario —or should that be Lake America?— the beautiful, shimmering metropolis of Toronto is Canada’s answer to New York City. Undeniably cosmopolitan, it’s the vast forest of gleaming, glassy skyscrapers that constantly impel you to look up, when you’re strolling the streets. I’d heard mixed reviews about Toronto, or Toronno as the locals insist on calling it, but despite its big-city stripes, there’s a friendliness and charm more accustomed to a small town."

Mike Yardley: The bites and beats of Toronto

Big Little Truths by Liane Moriarty  

After all their big little lies, what happens next? The gang is back. Madeline is planning her 50th birthday party. Jane is happily married to Tom (isn't she?). 

Celeste is haunted by memories of her dead husband, and troubled by her very alive mother-in-law. The kids are no longer kids. And things are falling apart. It's been ten years since Perry Wright fell from a balcony at the Pirriwee High trivia night but best friends Madeline, Celeste and Jane are still shadowed by his death. When an anonymous package containing a severed finger arrives at the school, and a man in a green Volvo is seen lurking around the kids, everyone is uneasy. 

Is the finger pointing to a mystery, or even murder? A lie masquerading as the truth? Or a secret about to blow up their lives? What is clear is that the truth will always hurt someone. 

  

We Chase Shadows by Richard Osman  

In the Italian hills, a body is found on the steps of a private villa at sunrise. Our mis-matched detective trio Amy, Rose and Steve return, in pursuit of an elusive and ruthless killer. Between Italy and Palm Springs, via Barcelona and Steve's sleepy village pub, they uncover an impossible case where it seems that everyone is hiding something. . .

Catherine Raynes: Big Little Truths and We Chase Shadows

Do you suffer from “Leisure Guilt”?  

It's a new term coming out of the United States, and refers to people who feel guilty or uneasy about spending time on leisure rather than on something perceived as productive.  
In a US survey, 64% of people reported having experienced leisure guilt at some point.  
In the daily-life study, participants experienced leisure guilt during roughly one in every seven leisure activities.  
People high in leisure guilt enjoyed their leisure time less, spent slightly less time in leisure activities, and felt less happy afterwards. For some, they even felt worse after doing something relaxing than when they were doing work or something seen as productive.  
Doing leisure activities with other people was linked with less leisure guilt. 

The findings suggest that the problem is not necessarily a lack of leisure time. Rather, some people struggle to psychologically "permit" themselves to enjoy leisure. As a result, leisure becomes contaminated by productivity concerns, reducing its restorative value.  

This may help explain why some people:  
Struggle to disconnect from work  
Feel anxious during holidays  
Continue checking emails during time off  
Feel restless or guilty when relaxing  

If that’s you there could be some ways to reduce your sense of guilt:  
Reframe leisure as an investment, not an indulgence – having leisure time will help you be more productive in the future.  
Frame leave as essential recovery rather than a reward. 
Establish some rituals at the end of the day or week to demonstrate to yourself that you’ve worked hard and deserve the time off.  
Do things with other people as it’s associated with less guilt. 
It's ultimately helpful to try and move your value of yourself away from always being linked with how much you produce. Find other meaning in your life alongside your work.
