AIBU to be bored and want to go out but don't know where to go on my own

[juicy274]

Just that really

I think I would be OK if I had something to look forward to over the weekend. Sadly my friend has cancelled the plans we had so now I just feel lonely.

I'm going to go to Tesco very soon and try to snap myself out of it. Just getting out of my pjs will probably help.

I am not usually so lazy, but I am a teacher. It has been a long and lonely half term!

Anything on at the theatre?

I go out on my own a lot...coffee, lunch, glass of wine.
This half term I am going to London (only half an hour away)...to Sloane Square and Kings Road, specialist shoe shop, Regent Street, maybe a gallery. Nice lunch too.
I enjoy my own company..my friends are not always around at the same times, and I can't shop with someone.

Essar Literature Festival on in Chester this weekend.
They have a creative writing workshop going on on Sunday morning and I would put money on it that everyone who goes to that will be on their own.
Take a deep breath and go for it.
Otherwise, there still seem to be some tickets left to listen to James Naughtie on Sunday, who could be potentially quite interesting.
I don't think that Tesco's will feed your soul somehow but certainly getting dressed and putting on your "public face" will help.

I often wish that i was like a 'man' and could walk into my.local on my own and stand a pint and talk boring drivel like football results and such stuff. It is adult conversation at the end of the day .

If you are living in the countryside try something that'll pass the time just for the day. Walk around and see how many different leaves you can find, or take pictures of something you consider beautiful. Peer at what the insects are getting up to. Go mushroom spotting. Get a metal detector and sell the results to an American on ebay.

Last winter I followed some moose tracks. I don't suppose you can do that, though.

Pre DCs DH works nights and we'd moved somewhere I knew noone, I was v lonely.

Used to just go for a drive round town with music on (weekends in Newport is like an urban zoo , or go to the gym for a leisurely swim and sauna they don't close until 10.

I rocked up at a scuba club, turned out to be two old blokes and some flippers but you might have more luck!

If on my own working in London it's lovely just to wander the town, feel the energy and talk to street vendors.

Just have a think what u would like to experience/learn and go online to find something relevant tomorrow.

In fact my challenge to you!-

1 go out and get something nice to eat to remove cobwebs

2 come back and google your local stables they always have Saturday hacks out

3 call stables (they might answer) if not first thing and book on the hack/lesson

4 go, meet people suggest post ride pub lunch!

me too crypes, although the pubs here aren't like the nice family ones in england that i've been in/seen. NI, or at least my part of NI doesn't seem to buy into the family pub/sunday lunch/summer garden thing that i've seen across the way. i wish we did, i'd really like to take my dcs for a pub lunch on a sunday and have a drink while they played in the garden, in the summer anyway.
