What To Do When Your Sick At Home And Bored

1. Try not to think about penguins – there you are smiling now aren’t you?

2. Explore on Google earth – check out your neighbourhood, or you know, Paraguay.

3. Adventure into space. It’s amazing, such a privilege. Click and marvel.

4. Read a book, use your time to learn something.

5. Take a trip around the world. Who knew South Africa can look similar to California?

6. Write a haiku. Text it to your friend.

7. Write a card or letter to someone.

8. Email an author you admire and share how their work has moved you.

9. Call up someone and speak for 15 minutes – just chat.

I used to do this all the time back in the days before mobile phones were common. When I was waiting at train or coach stations – and that happened a lot – it was 20 pence in the pay phone to talk to someone for 15 minutes. So I’d take my little pink phone book with me, look up someone’s number, hang out in the phone box and get them to amuse me for 15 minutes. It was never less than delightful.

10. Read old etiquette manuals.

11. Take a class from a world famous university, from your bed, for free.
