A long walk followed by something not too taxing on tv

I put my feet up and knit cannula sleeves for people with dementia as they tend to pull their cannulas out. It is quite addictive as you have to use bright colours and be inventive with 'safe' twiddles. The nurses are extremely appreciative of our efforts. The sleeves are taken to local hospitals after they have been safety checked.

have a glass of read wine and read a book, an old favourite

I just love to luxuriate in a warm, bubbly bath, for probably longer than I should, but so relaxing.

Parsley3 Mon 17-Sep-18 14:46:40

I relax with a glass of red wine and a large bar of wholenut chocolate.

a nice shower, snuggly clothing, sofa, movie!

I love to sit and knit with my lovely cat Harry beside me. It’s so calming to stoke his soft fur.

A warm fragrant bath or a relaxing massage with a lovely oil helps me relax

Enjoy a few episodes of my current favourite box set.

LynneH Mon 17-Sep-18 15:29:29

A glass of wine and feet up, watching a rom com on the box

yoga works for me :-)

During the day I would take a cuppa out into the garden and sit outside. But of an evening it will be a lovely warm bubble bath

chrisbishop55 Mon 17-Sep-18 15:45:32

A good book, a comfortable seat outside in the sun preferably, a cup of tea and a piece of cake - my idea of relaxation.

I grab my daughter and book a spa day ... we always stagger out of there semi-comatose from essential oils, hot tub and steam room and chit-chat!

Particularly enjoyable in the depth of winter, one day we came out into darkness and snow, and headed to a lively Cuban restaurant and had the biggest cocktail I had ever seen. Bliss.

A leisurely walk in the park (rain or shine) and then taking a break on a bench to read a book. If it's cold or wet a welcome cuppa in the local cosy café.
Back home to a warm/cool shower and a lazy afternoon in the garden.

A good thrilller to read and a large G&T after my H who has dementia has gone to bed.

A new thriller and a large G&T after my H has gone to bed.

Sorry but twice has to be better?

cujimmy Mon 17-Sep-18 16:14:09

A glass of wine and a good book

nichols Mon 17-Sep-18 16:19:59

A lovely warm bath with plenty of Sanctuary Spa bubbles

scrapgran Mon 17-Sep-18 16:28:01

I sit down with my puzzle books and a nice cup of white tea

Telly Mon 17-Sep-18 16:39:15

A walk in the countryside ususally does it, walking at a good pace with my little dog. If all else fails a trip to our local garden centre which is always awash with colour at any time of year.
