I'm really into the idea of 'liberating' books! You leave a book for someone else to find and the idea is that when they've finished, they'll do the same for someone else. I started doing it myself by leaving them on the train, after I once found a paperback on a long journey. I like the idea of not knowing who will pick them up but there are websites that make it easier to hunt for left books and if you register books with a number you can track to see where they've been! It's much more fun than leaving them on my shelves to get dusty. You can read more about it at www.bookcrossing.com or www.readitswapit.co.uk.

Adopting my dog Barney from the local animal home was the best thing I've ever done. My work had been getting me down and I'd been stressed. I started visiting the rescue centre as a volunteer dog walker at weekends and found that the fresh air and time alone with the dogs really helped clear my mind. Then one day I noticed a little floppy-eared terrier, who'd recently been brought in to the home, and asked to take him out on the lead. We got on famously and of course that was that. I work freelance now so I can be around more for Barney and I've felt more relaxed and happy since having him by my side. He's just such good therapy. It's nice knowing that I've given him a home away from his old troubles and I think he's making the most of his new life too - he certainly seems to enjoy having a sofa to sleep on!

When a friend came to stay recently I was ashamed to say I didn't know half the tourist attractions in my own town. So this year instead of jetting off on a stinky, polluting, expensive flight, we're going to be tourists at home instead. Local castles, museums, bike rides and boat trips on the river, and we'll have plenty of pocket money for ice creams, too!

Find ich eine nette Idee - aber die ist von "Die fabelhafte Welt der Amelie" geklaut.
