Going out in the evening

Me too , I would much rather stay in and if I can't be bothered to cook we will order takeaway.
In summer we love to do a bbq and eat outside or even cook inside and eat al fresco ,IF the weather is warm enough that is .
WE stopped going out when people still smoked in public places because of the smoke and my asthma but never restarted it when it stopped.
The noise irritated the hell out of me with my hearing problems too.
So no you are not alone and I am only just 60 so it's not an age thing either

Definitely sharing the feeling. I hate going out on long dark winter evenings.

We are going to the cinema this afternoon - we normally go on a weekday morning but we couldn't fit it in this week.

We were talking about this a couple days ago with sis/bro in law. We all agreed that when you walk out the door and it's cold or wet you think is it worth it, and then find out place is so noisy you cannot have a conversation properly. I'd rather stay home in the dry these days - cannot remember the last time I went out for an evening although my OH goes out a couple nights each week.
