To drink: Beer if I've had a long and tiresome day. I like malty dark beers best, like stout or heather ale, but on a hot day a wheat beer is pleasantly refreshing. If I'm already in a good mood and want to really take the time to savour something, whisky (Scottish or Japanese ideally, not generally keen on Irish or American but will give things a shot). Gins and red wines are welcome. If it's earlier in the day or I don't want alcohol, I am a big fan of slowly working my way through a cafetiere of coffee

To eat: I love stuffed green olives as a snack, but when blackberries or redcurrants are in season I will grab those instead a lot of the time. Nice bread and balsamic is a strong choice too

To listen to: Very mood dependent, as music often is. Old blues standards are fantastic to really relax with. Power, black, or prog metal are great when I want to devote more attention to the music and get absorbed in the energy. Scottish and Irish folk music and adjacent rock/pop stuff is where I go for daydreaming and creativity. Jazz, other types of folk music, post-rock, and 90s/00s alt rock might be where I wander sometimes
