No yearning for..I do it. Since I discovered thermal spa with open pool (water temperature 37°C, just 100 km away, open till midnight) I go there from late September till April, often, only not when it's well below zero or raining. One can work there in-between bathing with all kinds of massages, though not a place for tough projects; good for my back, neck,,,relaxing.
