I've just been driving a little around
A: What have you been doing for the last week?
B: Oh, I've just been driving a little around. I needed to think some things through.
1) Does the present perfect continuous seem natural here in A and B's statements? (B has just come home from driving around)
2) "...driving a little around" Is it natural (enough) to throw in "a little" here? (B is trying to play down how unusual it might seem that he's been driving around in his car for days)
