Pick the elderflowers this weekend, not next. The bloom lasts about three weeks and it is peaking now; a free, easy cordial is exactly the small unpaid pleasure tonight's edition is about, and the hedge will not wait for you.
Plan the late nights in rather than fight them. England's World Cup games kick off at nine and ten at night, our time, free on the BBC and ITV — so decide now whose bedtime bends and what a quick, late supper looks like, and enjoy the thing instead of resenting the clock.
Ask the harder question for yourself. The evidence from Britain's four-day-week trial is that given time back, people spend it on rest, care and the people they love, not on crisis — so it is worth knowing what you would actually want from a freer week before someone else decides its shape for you.
