Handy Hints

 This week I thought I’d suggest a few things to do when listening to the radio in case the lack of pictures was in away spoiling your enjoyment of Steve Wright in the Afternoon.

1.       Do a jigsaw puzzle - the kitscher the better, your nearest charity shop is highly likely to sell at least one puzzle of Princess Diana for about 50p

2.      Enjoy the view from your window – whether or not it’s more car-parky than collegey 

3.      Knit/learn to knit - there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube. Who needs to a Gran when you can learn from an American “Mom” with way too much time on her hands and a web cam?

4.      Take up crocheting – notes as above.

5.      Jog/go to the gym – if you must exercise at least be listening to something improving like Today in Parliament on Radio 4

6.      Walk to lectures – pretty simple this one

7.      Paint/draw – if you don’t have any inspiration of what to paint think back to primary school and paint about how you feel. If the resulting picture involves any of the following three, blood/death/Chris de Burgh, you should probably speak to your Chaplain or Welfare Officer.

8.      Have a bath – as documented in my previous post, though the logistics can be a little tricky

9.      Go to sleep – especially easy if you’re listening to talkSPORT

For those at all thrown by uni-specific references simply replace as below:
Collegey = charmingly pastoral
Lectures = school/work
Chaplain/Welfare Office = Mum/a concerned friend
