When you have downtime, how do you spend it?
Hanging out with family or friends, watching movies, relaxing at an outdoor cafe/bar, cooking, traveling, taking photographs or video, arts and crafts, playing in the park, the list could go…. there’s always something fun to do, but the key is “making” sure there’s enough downtime.

Tell us two lies and a truth about yourself…keep them guessing!
1. I play the bagpipes and practice traditional sword dancing.
2. I swam in a lake with crocodiles and have killed poisonous snakes in my house.
3. I sleep wearing my heart rate monitor to record my waking heart rate.
