Free afternoon - what would you do?

I'm a bit down for various reasons and have the afternoon off. So wondering what to do to cheer myself up a bit.

I've got a couple of errands to run and dog food to pick up then the days my own.

I'm probably going to lie on the sofa with the fire going, and eat snacks, that's another thing, what's your cheer-yourself-up dinner, I don't even know what I want for dinner.

I'm the back of my mind is chocolate, wine, bath, shit telly and an early night, but I'm supposed to be being healthy!

Well, I would go for a run and a dog walk, not sure how you feel about running but you can do the dog walk Grin
How about a healthy dinner but then a cake to enjoy after so not just eating crap snacks.
A bath sounds wonderful then an early night?

Go out for a walk at least. Daylight even on a gloomy overcast day can really help level out the mood. Then put your feet up in front of the telly with some cake.

It's absolutely hammering down today and for the next few days.

Do a decent gym session, have a swim and sauna afterwards, stick a pizza in the oven for dinner and open a bottle of wine.

Exercise always cheers me up, it's the endorphins. Get your coat on and walk the dog in the rain, home, shower, dry clothes and chill on the sofa with snacks; lovely.

Absolutely some exercise then id go for lamp chops and Greek salad.

Maybe a glass of wine.

My yoga teacher tells me that food tastes better after exercise and I believe her 😀

It does because you feel angelic 😇

I got crispy chicken and chips. And a stollen. I'll go to the gym tomorrow.

A long walk which also involves coffee and cake, then home, into really comfy indoor clothes, film or music, wine and whatever.
