Looking to see what other people do with their evenings.
I usually get home from work around 4pm I leave the house around 8.15am….. by the time I get home do a few jobs, washing, put the hoover round feed elderly parent, walk the dog for around an hour, I will try and fit in something for me for an hour either a run,walk,yoga class then get home prepare/cook supper for family of 3/4 depending who is in/out clear up.

I usually sit down around 8-9pm then what ? T.V is so boring generally……..Im often too tired to start a movie or read, I usually just end up scrolling on my phone then go to bed.
Anyone out there doing anything better, am I missing out ?

I stay in and watch TV 6 nights a week. 3 of the nights I watch a film and the others I binge a boxset. I go out once a week.

Crochet and an audiobook.

I do different things. Monday go to choir, Tuesday sometimes an exercise class. I’m doing a course so sometimes do a bit of that. To relax I tend to read or watch tv.

I don't watch TV but my DH does. I tend to sit in the same room often but do a hobby. I crochet, sew, read and draw. That fills a couple of hours in an evening if I'm not going out.
