Killing time unexpectedly

[DewDropsAndCobWebs]

So, due to a small mix up, I am currently locked out, for about the next two hours.
To give context, I'm not panicking, it's my day off, all I'm missing out on is folding laundry and sorting my too many houseplants out.
The key holder, as it were, knows and is returning asap, but it will be at least 1
90 minutes.
While it is currently pouring down, I am dressed for the weather, and am on a dry balcony with a hammock. I have a pod cast, really all I am missing might be a blanket and hot chocolate!
It made me realize though how glad I am I have my phone, and it's full charge. I'm embarrassed to say, if I didn't, I'd be bored and restless within twenty minutes no doubt.
I'm also glad I went pee before I walked the dog! (Who is all dry and warm inside).
What do you do to kill time when you can't use your phone? I am open to ideas , especially if the battery doesn't last as long in the cold/damp.

I never normally order for delivery but in those circumstances I'd be getting someone on a fast bike to bring me that hot chocolate.

If you’re cosy enough and safe enough I’d close my eyes and have a nap.
@Willowkinsthats an excellent idea. I’d sit in my shed and order a McDonald’s or Greggs with a coffee.

Omg I hate being so me. I don't have pay/tap on my phone, or I would for sure. That would be perfect.
I don't want bank stuff on my phone or I'd use it to buy treats all the time
I know me
I am my own worst enemy

I am alternating which hand I stuff in my pocket, and which holds the phone.
It's 9degress and getting windy, still raining steadily

I read my book.
I always have my book with me because you never know when you might need it!

But also if I didn't have a book, I'd probably go for a walk rather than sitting still for 90 minutes in this cold

I had just gone out to check my plants after last night's storm, so no book or other comforts with me, I'm afraid.

Yabu for saying 'went pee'..

Depends on available options. If shops/cafe within walking distance, buy a newspaper, get a cup of coffee in a cafe, read it and then do the crossword.

If not an option then go for a mindful walk, like think of a colour and spot every single thing you see in that colour or count and mentally log all the sounds you can heard.

Sort of solution reached.
Although I have no method of payment on me, I messaged DH, told him what happened, and he is sending me a snack and hot drink right now, and the keys should be back within an hourish
Then going to have a brisk walk until the keys are back.

Excellent solution.

I also don't have any means of payment on my phone, but I do know my card details off by heart so can manually enter.

Although in your circs I would have gone to a cafe or a neighbour. Actually one of my neighbours has a spare key for my house because I once got locked out over night (long story).

I am so glad you said this, I was desperately trying to work out how the dog got in after the walk but you were left outside 🤣.

Hope you’re in he warm now!

Made it in, grateful to be listening to the rain on the other side of the glass now!
Also, I think it's time to add a card into my phone so I don't end up like this again!

Also @DisplayPurposesOnly all night?! Crikey!

I was wondering this! I assume it’s a yale type lock that automatically locks behind you if the door shuts. We used to have one and it was a real pain.
Hope you’re inside soon OP, temperatures will really drop now it’s dark.
