Describe your idea of a perfectly restful day off — the kind that leaves you feeling genuinely refreshed.

A natural way to answer

A restful day for me would start with a lie-in, then a walk somewhere green. In the afternoon I'd read or cook, and in the evening I'd see a close friend. Nothing big — just calm and unhurried.
