Weekend Ideas

For the mind: Humour your grannie with a game of bridge. You won't have a clue what's going on but she'll go up several notches in your estimation.


For the body: Horrified at the thought of bearing all this summer? The sun's made a brief appearance and your speedos need an airing, so slap on the fake tan and give your local swimming baths a visit. Think of it as a litmus test for your beach cred - if small children start screaming, you've got a bit of work to do before you hit the sand.


For the soul: Find a poem that means something to you and memorise it. We don't care if you think poetry's not for you - do it!
