What I've Been Up To
I’m going to be completely honest and admit that overall I haven’t really been that productive lately and my days certainly haven't been spent doing a whole lot. I haven’t been feeling that well for the past few days either but even before that I still feel as though I haven’t actually been doing a whole lot. But that's completely fine. We should really just be doing the things that we want - as well as what we need - in this time rather than trying to force productivity onto ourselves. I feel as though our society has created this constant need for busyness or a sense that we need to fill our days otherwise they're "wasted", which can often leave us feeling guilty for not doing something every single day.
Anyway, mini tangent aside (maybe that's a topic for another blog post😄), for today’s blog post I thought I’d talk about some of the things that I have been doing recently - more specifically, things that I perhaps wouldn’t have otherwise been doing at this time if things were "normal".
BIKE RIDES
The weather has been unusually nice for the past few weeks which I'm so grateful for. I'm also grateful to live near lots of little country roads (because I don't like riding my bike on main roads😄). Recently I've been going on bike rides with my family as it's given us all something more to do rather than stay cooped up in the house. On one of our bike rides, we went on a route that took us through a wind-farm. I've lived in this area for over 19 years and I had never been to the wind-farm; didn't even know it was there in fact, despite it being practically on my doorstep. It was the best place to cycle through - there were no other people/cars around and, on particularly sunny and warm days, it feels almost like being in another country.
BULLET JOURNALING
Near the beginning of the lockdown, my brother had the idea to get a bullet journal and some fine tipped pens and I jumped on the bandwagon and joined him. Bullet journals can be used in a number of different ways and so far I have been using mines to take note of my favourite books/movies/TV shows or to draw things that make me happy. It's almost like a visual way to express the sorts of things I blog about. I've found that it's quite a nice way to pass some time.

BAKING
I've been baking a lot with my brother recently, although I think I'm more of the sous baker as my main job is to weigh ingredients out and then pass them over to my brother, which I'm perfectly happy to do😄. We've baked a variety of treats but I think my top three favourites have been peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies, brownies and a digestive biscuit chocolate tray bake (I have no idea what it's actually called😄).
