The Ultimate Rainy Day Survival Guide

Sunday, August 17, 2014

Even though it's only August - which I was hoping to spend by the lake sunbathing, sitting in the garden til late at night after a BBQ and wear shorts and dresses paired with sunglasses - summer seems to be a thing of the past already. For the past couple of days it's been chucking it down with rain and when I woke up this morning it was actually so cold I had to put on a jumper! Well then, see you next year summer! Now that my super summery plans for August don't really work out I had to find a couple of 'Rainy Day Pastimes' which I want to share with you today.

Read a book all cosied up on the sofa, wrapped up in your favourite blanket with a cup of tea in hand. You can find my Summer Reading List here
Give your wardrobe a clear out and get it ready for A/W
Watch innumerable chick flicks
Get your wellies on and take a nice refreshing walk in the rain
Bake a cake/muffins/cupcakes (anything that contains a high amount of sugar/chocolate)
Go to a café, order hot chocolate and sip it sitting by the window watching people hurry past
Do some online shopping, your wardrobe might need a few new pieces after the clear out
Take a trip down memory lane and flick through old photos/ watch old videos
Get some studying done (hypothetically)
Pick a DVD boxset and go through it in one day!
Have a spa day or enjoy an indoor pool
Go to the cinema
Have your friends over for dinner which you will cook together

Now that's my list of things to do on a rainy day. What do you do if the weather isn't all you hoped for? Are any of these points on your lists as well?

Lots of Love,
