6.40am: Absolutely not, go back to sleep.
8.20am: Let the dog in the bed for morning cuddles while I browse The Guardian. I love that they make news available to all without a paywall but since I'm in a position to pay, I have a membership.
9am: Tea and crumpets with vegan butter while watching a new video from Athena Mellor; she does lots of hiking, wild camping and generally outdoorsy videos which are really chill but inspiring. I miss going out on long hikes in new places and even though we're now allowed unlimited exercise, I'm not ready to visit national parks and beauty spots as it feels disrespectful to those who live there and they'll probably be super busy.
11am: Rain has stopped so get ready to ride my mountain bike in the woods. Feeling a bit run down (probably as I ate like a child yesterday) so this should make me feel better. Put 'relaxing music for dogs' on YouTube on the TV, snack on dried mango and meet my friend for a socially distanced ride. The government ruling that now allows unlimited exercise and to meet people outside (providing social distancing is maintained) makes a huge difference to my overall mood – it's weird that I haven't touched another human being in two months.
1pm: Greet my excited dog and eat a yoghurt before a shower. Moisturise my face with Lush Dream Cream, my does-it-all moisturiser since I've stopped buying fancy face creams as I swear it makes no difference.
2pm: Make gnocchi with cherry tomatoes for lunch. It's a Gousto recipe card but I bought the ingredients myself earlier in the week.
3pm: Head back to the woods for a dog walk. When home I make another loose leaf tea and set up the Wi-Fi mesh that arrived earlier.
6pm: Browse for mountain bike tyres as my rear one is fairly worn. It looks like they'll cost £30-50 each and I'll replace both at the same time. Send some links to my friend to see what he thinks of them, only to find out you can run different sizes and compounds between the front and back so I have some extra research to do. I've had this bike for six years and this is the first thing I've needed to replace. As much as I window shop for new ones with upgraded components and newer tech, I can't justify the few thousand pounds price tag when this bike is in good condition and still fun to ride.
7pm: Can't remember why I bought mushrooms but need to use them so make a three bean chilli and box three spare portions. Eat on the sofa while watching the new episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, then do dishes while watching the latest Levi Hildebrand vid on YouTube. He has great content about sustainability.
9pm: Make green tea, indulge in a row of Galaxy salted caramel and play The Outer Worlds on Xbox.
10.30pm: Bedtime routine: let the dog out, put the sash locks on, brush teeth, wash face, moisturise, vitamin supplement and One Line a Day diary. Get a little side-tracked when I notice a few items in my wardrobe I don't wear; move them into the spare bedroom and if I don't miss them, they can be donated. Sleep around 12.30.
