I’m alone this evening. No children no partner.

Im sitting on the sofa overwhelmed by what I could do (read, I don’t want to watch a show, draw…) that I’ve frozen and I’m doing absolutely nothing!

What does one do when they have a whole evening to themselves?

Why is it we dream of having a moment alone without the family and when we get the chance it feels like a paralysis.

I’m the same- list of things I’ve always wanted to watch, books I have ready to read, and then I flick so much and end up watching Friends or something!!!

I normally put a podcast on and cook something elaborate which only I like (cooking is fun for me) and then eat that while watching sorting good or silly, then maybe read a magazine in the bath

I drink wine, listen to some excellent music and sing out very loud.

Neighbours hate it I'm sure.
