on your own. How do you occupy yourselves

I am rarely alone with nothing pressing to do but when I can indulge myself I watch catch up tv.

I love the internet for news, eBay and looking up the history of my childhood home area. Also love reading, I belong to a book club but home and women's magazines are good too. But you must get outdoors each day whatever the weather to shop or just a pleasant walk. You'll feel more connected to life and meet some pleasant people even if just to say good morning to. I'm involved looking after a young grand daughter 2 days a week but it's important to factor in some time for yourself. Even if it's just a lovely bubble bath every day.

In my spare time I like to do Family History research for people. Unfortunately, even though I am alone for a lot of the time I am usually busy with work and juggling a busy household and family so I never get to spend as much time on it as I would like to do. Because I'm not very well at the moment I find I don't have the concentration needed to focus on my research.

I rarely have the TV on at all, much less during the day, but I do try to catch up on iPlayer if there's anything that captures my imagination.

I sew, knit, read, volunteer on a helpline (from home), catch up on housework. Sometimes I do the things I normally try to avaid such as ironing, sorting cupboards etc.
I don't watch day time tv but do listen to the radio a lot.

I'm tired just reading that fizzers.

See, I can't let myself watch daytime tv. Which is really silly. Some of it looks good quality these days. Wish I could shake off this self imposed ban.

I do lots of things, have a lie in, have a luxurious bath or shower, 'beautify' myself with face packs etc, give myself a pedicure, sort my clothes out, bagging some up for the charity shop, clean out 'junk' drawers and cupboards - or some other seldom done job, do the normal washing, vacuuming, dusting. Shop or browse online, do any banking that I need to do. Text or email friends, talk or message my daughter and my sister, catch up on tv programmes I have recorded, or binge watch films and series on Netflix, sometimes have a snooze, play games on Facebook, chat to Facebook friends via messenger, read books, read online newspapers...

Respect! (Being able to play that!)

Bath in the morning. Play on the Internet. Watch Jeremy Vine. Usually have a phone call or 2 from chums. Chat to my daughter who's down south on Whatsapp. Oh and I play Fortnite. Which won't appeal to most. But I'm rather good at it now ;-)

Unless it is very wet, most days I go to the shops if only for some fresh fruit or bread and may browse the charity shops. If I stay in I catch up on housework and am still organising my house from my move months ago. I read a lot and waste a lot of time online. I put the TV on in the evening.
