Being alone or with DH and the Dog
Waking along the coast
Getting an ice cream and a Guinness along the way
Going for dinner in my fav restaurant
Then staying over in a hotel with sea views.

Get up, find out there's been a zombie apocalypse while I was asleep and I'm the sole survivor, spend the rest of my natural culling the zombie population in amusing and inventive ways. Bliss.

What happens when you've culled the zombies?

What happens when you've culled the zombies?

I figure there's no way I'll get through nearly 8 billion people in the time I have left, or before I get careless and get bitten, so it's not something I think is a genuine concern.

It would be a sunny, but breezy day and I'd be alone somewhere in the countryside where I could see the animals, walk, visit tea rooms and gift shops, feed the ducks and eat ice cream.

Or

Another sunny, but breezy day but this time in a city like York or Chester on a week day so its less busy. I'd go into interesting shops, a cat cafe if there is one, art galleries, museums etc all alone.

I would stay in a monastery, with an early breakfast. Spend time in the morning doing a mix of manual and intellectual work. Followed by set lunch and then some free time to read. After supper there would be a glass of wine and time to crochet or sew.

I have recently come to realize how much I love structure but I am terrible to set it myself. Same with food. I’d happily eat what I was given, as long as I don’t need to decide or prepare it.

Going to watch a musical. Preferably Come From Away. Preceded by eating a nice very well done, no blood steak & chips in a restaurant.

Go to a budget hotel alone where you have minimal contact with staff and can put up a do not disturb sign so no one enters my space.
Drive to an empty beach and walk up and down alone in the sun.
buy scampi and chips and eat them on the promenade people watching.
Sit on the beach watching the sea and listening to music.
drive back to my hotel, eat something easy in the room, make a cup of tea and watch netflix. Sleep the sleep of the rightous.

In fact i do this at least once a year. :-)

A trip into the countryside and a coffee and scone in a nice tearoom. Go home and sit out in the gazebo in my swinging chair then do some crafting. Pizza for tea and minimal washing up. Early to bed to watch something on Netflix with a cup of tea and the window open to hear the evening birdsong.

Your perfect day is similar to mine, though I would prefer to paint than sew. My lovely sister once bought me the gift of a weekend in a retreat. It was marvellously calming and, seven years on, I still think of the room I stayed in if I want to calm myself down.

Thank you for your replies. I watched these three YouTube videos:





I want to try to be the change I want to be, and have 1 day where I act the way I aspire to be.

I love the idea of doing a retreat. Off to look into that.

A completely empty tesco with no radios or music playing, I'd want to look at basically every product and be able to stock the shelves and organise them Grin. I love supermarkets, but rarely go in them because people.
