Dont know what to do with myself today

I think some days are just like that and you have to go with the flow. Just 'be' for the time being and let it pass. I remember saying to my DH, when trying to persuade him to retire and he was asking what he would do with himself, that some days are just that - days when it's difficult to feel motivated. I'd definitely try going for a walk though, even if it's only round the block or to post a letter. There's a thought! Write a letter (a proper handwritten letter) to someone - a grandchild maybe? xx

It's nice to know I am not the only one who woke up feeling a bit gloomy this morning.

I just got dressed and went out without any plan of where to go. Ended up getting lost and had to just keep following the path I was on hoping it would lead me somewhere familiar. After 2 hours I found my way home and felt better after my adventure.

Have you considered researching your family history? Be warned, once you start with one of your ancestors two hours later you will still be sitting at the computer. On the Scottish side I have got back as far as the 1700s, just after the second Jacobite rebellion.
Do give it a go, I.m sure you would enjoy it.

Hi there.I have 2 hobbies ..the first is Family Abcestory..Ivabsolutely live finding out about My family that U never knew...I've also been in touch with a cousin whom I am related through our Grandmotgers ...we havent met but she seems lovely.

My second hobby is sewing and with the pandemic I have been making and selling masks among other things ..so much so I was approached by a local mag for an artical which they named Liberty in Lockdown ..Fame at last

Family Abcestory ...Sounds like a nasty affliction!!

I found the perfect occupation for me. I have been interested in crafts over the years. I decided to try ribbon craft, I am now totally addicted. I have made loads of flowers for corsages and also Christmas decoration. I could open a shop with the amount of ribbon I have bought. Highly recommended it, lots of tutorials on utube.

I'm a bit late to this thread so I hope you're feeling a bit better, travels. I sometimes feel at a bit of a loose end but not for long. Have you any hobbies which really interest you? Having an interest which makes you forget about time passing is very helpful, something you can really get your teeth into. I prefer to get out of bed, washed and dressed each day no matter how I'm feeling unless it's a physical illness. I think my morale would get lower if I succumbed to it, but whatever works for you.

If you know you need the exercise go for a walk . If you haven't the energy then don't. Apart from that just go with the flow. Tomorrow is another day ?

travelsafar at last! A kindred spirit! Escape to the Country is my most favourite programme ever! I will do anything rather than miss it. I feel so disappointed if I don't like any of the properties and feel quite cross and take it very personally if the couple on it don't like my preferred choice. Jules Hudson is my favourite presenter.

Wow, travelsafar, you've done a lot more than I have today.

travelsafar Well done, you turned a potentially depressing day into one full of achievements. So glad you’ve had a good time filling the time. ?

Firdaus your slippers are just lovely.

I felt the same today. Couldn’t settle to anything, so I put on my old jacket, got my secateurs and spent a couple of hours tidying the narrow footpath near my house. It goes past the houses and an orchard, over a little wooden bridge at the brook, and out into the fields. At this time of year the nettles and brambles, in particular, start attacking passers-by.
I worked my way down one side, then back up the other. Apart from wayward nettles and intrusive briars I also pruned any overhanging new growth on the trees.
By the time I got back home, put the kettle on, and tended to my few scratches and stings I felt happy and satisfied. It’s nice to know that our local ramblers will be able to go for a stroll down the lane without getting attacked by the local wildlife - at least for a few more weeks, anyway.

GreenGran78, lovely idea. Well done.

What do you do when you feel like this
Travelsafar Nothing!
But here's something you could try; just read about it

."Can anyone tell me why there are are seven thousand four hundred and twenty-six grains of rice in one packet and only seven thousand three hundred and ninety-six in another!?"
Hope you don't get that desperate!
Good Health.
