Doing stuff on your own - Page 2

Belmit · 21-05-2008, 11:55

Many's the time I've got up on Sunday morning, gone to the cinema, and had popcorn for breakfast. The roads are empty, the cinema's empty... OK so it costs the best part of a tenner but I get home in time for lunch and feel like I've done something other than gestate in bed all morning. I'm not sure I could just go to the pub and have a drink on my own, but with a meal and a newspaper, why not?

Absolutely! I love going out for a meal by myself!

I'm off, I'm bored, I dont want to do housework, I dont want to sit in, I don't want to do anything energetic, I don't particularly want to chat to people, I just want a couple of hours downtime and thought about sitting in a pub garden with a book and some nice pubgrub.

Would you?

Recently I've been feeling more and more solitary and there's nothing wrong with it.

I managed to redress that balance by going to see some friends, Jonny, and Pigmo relatively recently so I don't feel so bad now.

But yeah doing stuff by yourself is actually quite relaxing and good for you IMO. I used to do too much of it when going away for work - that actually felt depressing as it was forced upon me.

Doing it out of your own choice is good - it's your mind's way of saying "give me some time to think".

Enjoy.

Yep I do this every week on my non-gym day.. I hate the people I work with so I make sure I get out and have some me time..

Take a book, mag, study work etc.. In fact that day is today so I'm going to have a steak sandwich and a mega bucket of Coffee!!

The more things you do alone the more people you meet, Fact !!!

Having said that just fill your car up & head up here, I could do with some entertainment before & after the match.

Leave your Rozzer head at home though as there is a distinct smell of green around my manor & there will be until gone mid night

GET YOUR **** OUT FOR THE LADS !!!!!

GET YOOOOUUURR ************************* OUT FOR THE LADS !!!

Yep definitely, if I ever have an hour or two to kill it's great spending it than popping into a pub and reading the newspaper or a book, or sit up at the bar and chat to the barstaff (if hot..lol), a good pastime for sure

I'm off then! See you later

I've routinely gone off and seen films, or gone to theatre on my own and such. It's more rare for me to go the pub solo without there being some specific reason to be there (e.g. open mic night and I'm going along guitar in hand)
