Weekend
Five easy ways to make the most of a sunny Saturday
Saturdays go fastest when there is no plan, so this is a short one: five small ideas that need little more than a free afternoon and a couple of friends.
Start late and slow. A long breakfast outside, phones face down, sets the pace for the rest of the day better than any alarm.
Find a view
Pick somewhere high or somewhere green and stay longer than you planned. The best afternoons are the ones nobody photographs properly.
Cook one thing together
Not a feast, just one dish everyone helps with. It turns a visit into an afternoon, and there is always someone who insists on doing it their way.
Make a playlist in turns
Each person adds one song at a time and nobody may skip. You learn a lot about your friends this way, some of it surprising.
End with a short walk
Twenty minutes before dark, walk somewhere without a destination. It is the easiest way to make a good day feel finished.
