You're living in the 1900s. What will you do if you didn't have any technology to rely upon? I would just sit and crochet all day long I think... And clean the house from top to bottom Grin

Read and crochet.

Doyoumind · 27/01/2021 22:15

Read, walk, day dream, embroider, sleep. I wouldn't be cleaning.

Walks, gossip, gardening, sewing. Go to bed super early. Sing songs and rhymes to the kids.

Probably quite good for us, to live that way.

Bliss.
I don’t spend much time on days off near phones/internet and don’t watch television so I would read more and listen to more music. Possibly take up painting again.

Although in the 1900s, many people did have lots of kids very close in age and many people had to do manual labour and jobs, we didn't have all the great gadgets we do now ( washing machines, easy hot water, disinfectant sprays, farm machines) We are lucky in some ways now, although some things are harder than ever I think. But I imagine more people would read books and newspapers, and the newspapers would find a way to be our Netflix or streaming service to keep us entertained and possibly the radio too.

Read.
Do crosswords.
Play Patience.
Do jigsaws.

In my fantasy life:
practise piano
bake
crack open the copy of Berkey's Calculus that has been in my possession since 1988

Read, write, play board games or cards, walk, bake, garden, sew, lie on a chaise longue and daydream...

Sounds like bliss actually 🙈
