BORED of all this? Go online and buy yourself a morale-boosting treat that you won’t want by the time it arrives. But what?
Trainers
We’ve all got to exercise, and it’s pretty much the only time most of us are outside, so basically the entire spectrum of fashion is reduced to trainers. And now they’re for exercise all those breathable uppers and air-cushioned soles and all the other bollocks are totally justified, so don’t skimp.
Fancy booze
So bored of drinking you’re at the cocktail stage? It takes more than just a shaker; you’ll need a cocktail cabinet stocked with stuff like amaretto, Angostura bitters and Blue Curacao. Order the lot, have a crazy night, remember the throbbing hangover for the rest of your life and never touch them again.
Bath crap
You need to relax. So an insanely expensive basket of bath oils, scented candles and skincare products has been delivered for the ultimate home spa experience. But after an hour stewing in a steaming bath, you realise what’s stressing you out: it’s this global pandemic, which a nice bath can’t cure.
Vinyl
There’s never been a better time to build up your vinyl collection. Replace the albums you used to have on cassette with vinyl, the albums you had on CD with vinyl, and the albums you used to have on vinyl with better vinyl. Then look at their covers while you stream.
Increasingly elaborate garden stuff
Your garden’s where you’ll be holidaying this summer, so spare no expense. Get fancy new chairs, a fire pit, strings of solar lights and an outdoor stereo system. Then stay in because the weather’s shit and the telly’s better than a sunset anyway.
