Doing stuff on your own - Page 5

Forgot to say, I had to go to Italy for a week on my own for a training course with our Italian suppliers. Granted during the day I was with them, but the night time I was on my own. Was bloody scary I tell you.

I get out solo whenever I can. Never really did the whole cinema trip yet tho, always jus a cafe with a newspaper or a walk in the hills with a camera.

More often than not tho, its up a tree with a book & my ipod. I love the outdoors!

I've eaten at pubs on my own a few times when I've had to stay away with work. I normally hope that some hot business chick is doing the same so I can hook up, but it never happens and I usually get bored ****less having to listen to the the intricacies of the sales ledger system of some middle aged businessman's company.

Sometimes you can blag a load of free drinks on other peoples expenses though

When I worked opposite a big pub, in summer I used to sit outside with a drink and read in my lunch break. Much nicer than sitting in the office. The people there didn't understand 'I'm on my lunch', and would get the hump when I wouldn't do what they asked IMMEDIATELY, so I tried to stay out for the full hour instead.

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?

Yes, and have done many times.
Sometimes I like to go somewhere busy, alone, with something to read and watch the world go by.
I'm a confirmed people watcher, and it's nice to sit back and smell the roses sometimes. Very therapeutic IMO.

People watching is one of my favourite pastimes
