English Idiom: Take a load off
It’s summer. It’s hot. It’s sultry. It’s the best time to take a load off.
Summer is the best time of year to sit down, kick off your shoes and take a load off of your sore, tired feet.
Maybe you could even wiggle your toes in the sand of a beautiful beach at sunset (it is cooler at sunset, and you won’t get a sunburn either).
Take a load off means to sit down and relax.
You can do it at the beach, at the office, in a café or any other place where you can sit down and relax for a while.
