I must admit I would quite like to go to a care home. I find it a burden sometimes that I have to work, cook my meals, pay the bills etc. I heard that the prisons out here even give free language lessons, so I kind of look at that with the free board, food, lessons etc as a bit of a luxury. I would love to be able to just read my books, do a little language learning, do a little writing and otherwise do nothing else, but it's hard to find the time to do that when you work so much. There's a certain kind of security on the inside which you don't get in the outside world. I don't regard it as especially free to have to look for jobs, worry about the future and all that. I once asked my wife if I could go to a mental hospital of some kind for a break and apparently you have to pay a lot of money to stay there, so even that is a no go. You have to stay outside and work or die if you don't. Even in the hospital it's 200 pounds a night for a private room. It's quite extreme in the outside world.
