12 lovely things to do on your day off

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

It’s the Queen’s Birthday long weekend today. Happy birthday Queen! Happy day off all of us! Here are 12 lovely things you can do with your free day to make you feel good.

1. Shout a stranger a coffee (just pay for two when you’re buying yours)
2. Shout a CHARITY a coffee (or the cost of one), using this app
3. Sit down and draw a picture. Take your time on it
4. Go for a spot of urban foraging (the lemons are great right now)
5. Sing. Really loudly. Just belt that tune out
6. Sort out all your clothes and put aside the ones you don’t wear any more to give to charity
7. Grounding (have you ever tried it?)
8. Hot tea! Crumpets with honey!
9. Bake something you’ve never baked before. I might try baking bread
10. Write a postcard to someone you’ve been thinking about
11. If you can get your hands on a baby, tickle one
12. Walk + camera. You’ll notice things you’d never normally see

    What a gorgeous list. I belted out a couple of tunes SUPER loud in the car yesterday – it was SO awesome. Then I had a moment of self consciousness and had to quickly check my phone to make sure I hadn’t bag-dialled anyone! Phew. Safe!

    Baking bread is on my list (has been for years! and must be done soon).

    As for tea and honey crumpets. Well is anything more perfect. x

    Confirmation! While I was hunting for my writing books yesterday I found loads of paper and some FaberCastelle pencils and I thought, I’m going to draw something. I draw like a child, but that’s okay with me. Today’s the day!!
