LUKE MARSDEN - I’ve even made banana bread
This week my friend text me to let me know she had ordered a 1000-piece puzzle of The Mona Lisa and she was halfway through her face.
At first I laughed out loud at the thought of my 24 year old millennial friend doing a puzzle then I thought about it and realised that there is no better time to do things we wouldn’t normally do, there is no better time to break a routine and create a Da Vinci inspired one.

Even typing that out a month or so ago would’ve seemed strange let alone actually doing it but these aren’t normal times, the traditional rulebook has been thrown out of the window and into the (correct) recycling bin.
There is more to staying at home than Netflix and chill (and every other streaming service that is now out there, although I am loving Disney+) so I’ve decided to attempt baking.
This week I’ve made what every person on social media seems to be baking, banana bread.

Nobody wants soggy banana bread.
Try something different, maybe you aren’t a puzzler or a baker but a gardener and haven’t had the time, if nothing else the one thing we all have in abundance now is time.
I even contemplated writing Easter cards but instead I think I’ll just tackle the Easter eggs I’ve bought for myself.
Small steps…
