Good things to do on a sunday

1. Have a lie-in. Don't worry about waking up early and when you do wake up, go back to sleep again.
2. Take time over breakfast. Slowly let the coffee brew and take care slicing mushrooms, tomatoes and slices of bread. This weekend I used a rather tasty loaf from Borough Market's Flour power Bakery, a sourdough bloomer, which toasts up well and makes a particularly good piece of fried bread. Bacon should be crispy round the edges yet juicy in the middle and this weekend I had my eggs scrambled. I would have liked to attempt to poach them but apparently you need fresh eggs and there is little fresh about my kitchen cupboard.
3. Listen to Radio 4. At home I generally listen to 6 music except for a sunday when I enjoy 'Desert Island Discs', 'Gardener's Question Time' and 'Just a minute'. This weekend's castaway was Rory Stewart who walked 6,000 miles across Asia. hHe claimed not unsurprisingly that this was a life changing experience. A thoroughly likeable chap.
4. Fall asleep on the sofa for a quick nap. nice.
