Some date ideas...

A friend asked me if I had any date ideas, and seeing as I am in the first day of the 'week of doom' (stuvac) I gave myself around a 20 minute break to brainstorm:

  1. The beach sculptures are happening at Bondi Beach until 20th Nov.

  2. If it is raining, go jumping in puddles.

  3. Get a canvas (available at most bargain stores), some spray paint and/or house paint that might be laying around the house, and create an artwork.

  4. The cooking game. You each get $10, head in different directions in the supermarket/deli and buy random items, head home, and see what you can make.

  5. Bake a cake, and then drop it round to a mutual friends house, just to say 'We care.'

  6. Go on a road trip (not good for those who suffer with travel sickness)

  7. Go to a second-hand bookstore and buy a something neither of you would normally read, then go somewhere (beach maybe) and then read it aloud to one another.

  8. Spend a Saturday morning trailing garage sales.

  9. Go in-line skating (Manly beach is nice for this) then finish it off with hot chips on the beach.

  10. Take a walk through a cemetery (at night) and make up stories about what different people could have been like.

  11. Live theatre (amateur as well as professional).

  12. Catch a ferry from the Quay to Manly, go to Coldrock for ice cream and then walk around to Shelly Beach.

  13. Borrow some digital cameras and spend the day at the zoo.

  14. Go into the city for the day with your cameras and spend the day seeing what unusual/interesting things you can photograph.

  15. Spend an afternoon going through these pictures and make an album.

  16. Make some play dough or get some clay and try and sculpt one another's heads.

  17. Go to the play set in the park and swing on the swings.

  18. Fill their car with balloons. (I know, not really a date, but a fun thing to do).

  19. Create a scavenger hunt, leaving clues for them to find the next one, which leads to a picnic somewhere.

  20. For all of the above, the number one priority:Enjoy one another's company!!


Now back to the books.
