I have errands to carry out in Oslo, but I have no pleasurable excuse to be there today. Those errands aren't urgent, but I know I'll be able to relax more once they are taken care of. Since I moved to the suburbs, I have started to think of the city as a place for work and errands, not relaxation. You don't really need to live in a city if you don't have any business there. I wouldn't mind living and working in a small town, but I'd need a driver's license, a car and a local job first.
@thor Without a car it would be difficult but if you could find a job telecommuting that might solve a lot of the small town problems.
