Lots of similiarities with my situation.
I do aim to find 1-day a week (for e.g.) work during 'off' periods. Typically this can be passed off as "x months of work", rather than "x months of work but only one day a week".
Of course the larger question here goes abegging: why are agents so stupid about being in work full time. And some clients too. This idea that your skills have fallen out of date is ridiculous: I know plenty of people who have not had a day off in the last ten years whose skills are woefully inadequate. It's about your ability and willingness to pick things up quickly and hit the ground running, not the ability to keep your head down and be a permatractor, that should count.
