A perfect evening with yourself

Yes you’ve spelt it correctly.

Listening to or reading a book. Catching up on films I’ve not had a chance to look at. If you want to go out, maybe go to the cinema.

Yes, you did (disturb). I'm never happier than when I'm on my own. Give me plenty to read, my favourite music and some decent snacks and I'm as happy as a pig in the proverbial!

I has this afternoon to myself. It was lovely.

I had the papers, catch up tv, a cuppa and a scone. Bliss.

Being alone is great - when you know it isn’t permanent!

I love being on my own. The pandemic was bliss. 🤭

Half term was hectic for me, some children staying, others just coming for a day, and one of our adult children visiting.
So today, a very long catch up with a friend, a pile of ironing, and this evening Happy Valley, and my book.
Batteries definitely needed charging.

I used to long for an “empty” , to have the house to myself , even the few hours while paw had his weekly blood transfusions.

Be careful what you wish for.

Agreed Maw

I don't want an empty house

I just want some relaxation for a few hours

I am always alone, being divorced and childfree by choice. Love it!

Ive just finished an incredibly busy period in one of my online shops. I had to stay up all night to pack parcels. This weekend I am spoiling myself. I went to bed at 2 pm (as soon as Royal Mail had collected) and got up at 8 and had a leasurely shower. Been binge watching a TV series and enjoying doing nothing much.

Tomorrow I will be bored with the TV and probably back to unpacking new stock.

I’ve been alone for the past 22 years (divorce). Thank God, I have the best of all worlds. All 3 AC and their families live in a 10 mile radius. But we don’t live in each others’ pockets. Visiting is planned, even with my divorced daughter.
I love a day or two to myself sans-visits, sans-phonecalls, sans music,sans TV. I love the silence…gives me a chance to think of what needs to be done, decluttering, doing codicils for my Will etc etc etc. I have got so much. collected over the years, some rubbish. But has to be sorted.

I've been alone for 15 years and love it now. Just a well as I don't have any choice really. I like some favourite TV in the evenings or read my library book. It's not exciting but I'm mostly content.

Heating on. Cats fed, so drowsy (they're such nags). Clean, tidy and empty house.

TV, something gripping like Happy Valley. Some nice food to pick at over a couple of hours. Cup of tea.

Later, up to a tidy bedroom with the bed made.

I never get it. Bits, but never all at once.

Listening to my football team on the radio playing an away match and winning , glass of wine and giving myself a manicure and pedicure.

I would love an evening on my own with my daughter, a few well chosen magazines and a bottle of nicely chilled Chablis or two.

I love Friday evenings,Dh goes out for a few hours and i am in my oil tot.
I don`t even answer the front door.

I enjoy evenings when I've been out for lunch with congenial company. I then relax and reflect. Lovely.

A bottle of red, a box of dark chocolates, some savoury nibbles and a good book.

My perfect evening would be to spend it with my much-missed DH, a bottle of wine and Sinatra in the background.

I think I am starting to see a possible evening for myself in others comments 🙂

Very wise words Maw

I prefer alone with my husband. That amount of alone is my perfect.

Most of my evenings are spent alone but I am content on my own.
I usually get into my night clothes and relax with a film or a good series.

If you dont enjoy your own company how can you expect others to enjoy it?
