1. Enter the annual contest with the neighbours to see who can have the neatest lawn and garden. Spend hours pruning and mowing. Alternatively give up completely and see what wonderful wildlife will take up residence in your grass jungle.
2. Have a fun-filled barbecue, including the usual rainstorm, undercooked meat and risk of salmonella. Kiss the Cook apron optional.
3. Feed the pretty little birds who visit your garden. If you live in a slightly more urban environment, feed the rats instead. They need love too.
4. Sunbathe with factor 50 suntan lotion. OK you won’t get a very good tan but you won’t get skin cancer either.
5. Star gaze. Search the night sky and the vast eternity of space for inspiration. Look at the stars millions of miles away and philosophise about the meaning of life. See if anything stares back. Or just look for UFOs.
