How are you making weekends alone fun?

[Morningtviscrap]

I am so so bored!!!! Yet another Saturday and nothing to do. I was so determined to get up early and enjoy the day in some way. But I have a bit of a headache and I'm currently sat on the sofa already bored.

I dreamt about work all night, I really need some down time. I want to go for a wander around the shops on a busy Saturday, read my book with a coffee at a street cafe and people watch, meet a friend for a pub lunch.

I know I won't be the only one feeling like this.

I was off yesterday & was alone for a fair few hours. The weather was terrible. I binge watched Say Yes To The Dress for hours. Not everyone’s cup of tea but it was a different day for me.

I’m missing swimming & coffees & lunches too. I hope you have a good day.

Sounds relaxing.

Think I will have to settle for a walk.

Read your book with a takeaway coffee in a park and people watch there - not quite the cafe experience but a bit like it?

Then meet a friend for a socially distant picnic? Or even a takeaway from a pub? Lots here are now doing takeaway beer and some are doing food.

Friends not up for meeting yet, most still being very cautious. The friend I usually do Saturday lunches with is shielding.
But I will take my book somewhere and get a drink.

I’m sorry you’re bored. I know everyone is different. I’d love a day to myself, but that’s because I can’t!
If I could have the day, I’d clear up the house, go for a walk with my book, and then watch some films.
Realise this doesn’t help if you’ve been doing those things lots!

I share your enjoyment of pre-lockdown Saturday cafe coffee book and people watch. The experience gave me a good sense of self. I have adapted to public bench, flask, picnic. It is a new self-discipline to maintain a good outlook in social distancing times. I don’t think there is any way to sugar coat the situation when you live independently. I suspect it’s a good training for retirement.
