A perfect evening with yourself

Marking and prep done. DGC back at home. An evening with a book by my current favourite author and an André Rieu concert in the background.
I could also binge watch the Big Bang Theory quite happily.

One of the few pros from being a widow living alone. Opera from the Met totally uninterrupted to know where something is, knowing that the special thing I have saved for lunch will still be in the fridge, being able to leave a job in the middle, to take a walk, and know that nothing will have been moved while I was out. But top choice will be to listen to wonderful J S Bach probably double violin concerto or st matthews passion and just be in the moment.

I have been on my own since my divorce in 1988 and this evening will be perfect for me.

A warm house, a really nice supper about to be cooked by me and 2 programmes to watch on TV which I really enjoy. All that is missing is a glass or three of wine but I finished that bottle last night and that is enough alcohol for at least a week.

or even the Big Bang Theory

School holidays just finishing here and last night I was alone.
Ate up all the leftovers and binge watched Big Bank Theory
even though I've seen it before, it was bliss.

Freshly made beds are the best

I need to get on top of making it earlier though instead of the horrifying discovery it needs doing when I'm ready to sleep

It is nice when being alone is a treat, you appreciate it so much more.

Curled up in a chair in front of the blazing stove with a new good book to read, having first spent a couple of hours in the garden

The perfect evening would be a lovely bath, freshly made bed, a good book and a cup of milky coffee 😄

I’ve always loved my own company, I have a number of hobbies that keep me occupied 😊

ParlorGames

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

this would result in me spending the following day alone in bed with a migraine

a nice warm bath, pyjamas on, chilled cava in the fridge and a film to watch!

I'm also in a house of men. It does get a bit much sometimes, doesn't it?

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

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.

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

Very wise words Maw

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
