Quiet here, I've had dinner and now have tea and cake. Can't see anything watchable on Netflix, suggestions?

Anyone else having a very quiet night?

Building IKEA flat pack for DS' bedroom 😭 save me

Kitterkitkat · 23/01/2026 20:53

@CatherineParr unfortunately I've seen that! Claire Danes was very good. Might try Ozark as there are positive reviews.

Good luck with that @TheCurious0range, I always get into a tangle before it eventually goes into place.

Gin & tonic sitting in the conservatory listening to Jonathon Ross on Classic FM while DH cooks Thai curry for a late dinner - all very rock & roll here lol

Aw tea and cake sounds lovely. I did the weekly shop, made dinner, tidied up, washed and hung up uniforms and now I'm chilling with a cuppa talking to ye lovely people!! 😁❤️

Watching The Walking Dead (season 3, for the hundredth time) drinking rose tea and just put gluten free bread in the oven. I wish it was not gluten free.
Dog asleep beside me, child asleep in bed.

Watching Top of the Pops on BBC4

I feel like I spend more time scrolling through Netflix rather then actually watching anything. Done the same thing today, then picked up a good book instead (and a cheeky packet of crisps!).
Very boring evening😊

landlordhell · 23/01/2026 21:05

My eyes are closing. Sooo tired. Just watching Broadchurch. We are very late to the party. Then bed.

We have 6 10 year olds boys here for a sleepover. It’s very far from quiet 😂

mondaytosunday · 23/01/2026 21:06

Me! Sitting here with shepherds pie, glass of wine, Hijack in the TV, one cat sharing the sofa, other one on a kitchen stool.
I’m a widow, oldest lives on his own, youngest at uni. Dog passed away a couple weeks ago. Quite quiet quiet.

Tangerinesattack · 23/01/2026 21:10

Watching Death on the Nile with a gin and tonic and a cat on my lap. Lovely stuff!

shellyleppard · 23/01/2026 21:11

Takeaway pizza for us. Eldest one is on playstation, youngest in bed. I'm sitting with a book and a cup of tea....very rock and roll....not 🤣

Watching Top of the Pops on BBC4

We are too! Our era! We were 20.
Not liking many of the songs though, there were better weeks in ‘76.
I think it’s the summer we melted.

dontforgetme · 23/01/2026 21:24

We’re just sitting in the kitchen having a couple of drinks reminiscing about my lovely grandad. Chris Stapleton on the Alexa. Happy Friday all.

Bluemin · 23/01/2026 21:28

Watching the Picture of Dorian Gray. Came out when I was 20 and not seen it since then! It's on Prime. Very good.

sitting With awareness a family member is probably going to die very soon. wondering if I will survive breast cancer. cat snoring by my feet. Camomile tea. Life is beautiful and strange.
Ozark is excellent

Clingfilm · 23/01/2026 21:29

Another Too if the Pops watcher here, I watch every week, love to see the fashion and hair and everyone's lithe and young, sigh.
I did clean the cooker earlier trying to distract me from wine as I'm doing dry Jan. Other family members are in different rooms watching their devices.

Binge watching S4C's Itopia with DC2. Sharing a blanket, DH is making us a snack, DC2 is cuddling a fluffy toy for the jump scares

ProfessorRedshoeblueshoe · 23/01/2026 21:33

I'm watching The G - I think it's on Film 4. It's scary.
