Your dream Sunday

Tomorrow I’ve got the day all to myself. Dh and ds are going out at 6am for the day and staying overnight. I do often have time to myself but rarely a whole day and night so this is a lovely treat 😂
I’m taking myself for a swim first thing. The weather looks lovely and sunny so my sister and I are going for a walk and then a pub lunch. After that I’m planning on stopping in to see MIL, then home for a quick bit of washing and whatever other domestic chore I can be bothered with and then I’m lighting the fire and lounging with a book I’m halfway through!
Takeaway for dinner if I’m hungry and then some telly.
What would you be doing on a rare day to yourself?

Technically speaking I've got a day on my own tomorrow as dh is working away this weekend. After running round after his mum and my elderly neighbour(we do this every week but this week I'm doing it on my own) plus grandchildren and doing a tip run for a friend who can't drive, I've done enough "stuff".
I'm going to get up late, but will have to peg out the washing, but then I'm going to my friend's for a Sunday dinner. If I hadn't invited myself to hers for dinner, I'd get up late (still have to peg out the bastard washing!), wander down town and get a Sunday paper plus something to eat, probably a pot noodle and a nice cake, then sit about just reading the paper and watching shit on tv. I live like a student when dh is away, I've got a varied toast diet that works for me!

Days to myself aren’t rare, but they are still cherished. Ideal would be
Wake up around 9 o’clock ( no alarm).Mug of tea
Hot bath and dressed then first fresh coffee of the day.
Walk in local gardens/countryside listening to a good audio book or something in BBC sounds
Brunch in town
Home to a miraculously clean and tidy house.
Afternoon spent reading , doing puzzles and watching Golden Girls
Early evening wine whilst I cook something nice.
Good drama on TV and then final mug of tea in bed.
