A small plan for right now

One of each, matched to the weather and the mood — enough to decide the evening without overthinking it.

Watch

Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011, 81 min)
Calm, absorbing craft; oddly soothing to watch.

Planet Earth II (one episode) (2016, 50 min)
Stunning, low-stakes wonder; great when energy is low.

Eat

Hot chocolate, properly (10 min)
Warm the milk gently.

Banana oat pancakes (15 min)
Mash banana, mix with egg, oats and cinnamon.

Listen

Sade — By Your Side
Smooth, warm and reassuring.

Tycho — Awake
Gentle motion without lyrics to pull focus.

Bon Iver — Holocene
Spacious and quietly hopeful; good for grey light.

Do

Tidy your camera roll for ten minutes
Delete blurry shots, save a few favourites. Oddly satisfying and genuinely useful.

Cold-weather window seat + playlist
Wrap up, sit where you can see outside, and put on one album start to finish.

Two-question check-in
Ask each other: what was good today, and what's one thing on your mind? Listen without fixing.
