I like this thread very much, something I can relate to!
I've had a lazy day at home. But I did try to learn continental knitting via Youtube. I started out ok but it deteriorated as it went on and now looks a mess.
Try again tomorrow!

Have had breakfast in bed, my weekly treat cooked by DH. Saturdays are lie in day! Nothing planned for this afternoon, probably read my Kindle, maybe watch football later, we have Sky Sports as we are both football fans.

I should add that I’m not particularly bored. I like doing not much.

I’ve spent the morning doing nothing in particular, a bit of writing, a bit of reading. A bit later I’m going to watch Fiddler on the Roof on TV, and my son will ring me at some point, as he always does.

I am well beyond pension age and I like my daily routine in which the more the days are all the same the better I like them. One high spot of my daily routine is my fried egg on bread with a cup of tea and I am serious about eating as it's a pleasure that I can still rely on.

I’m sat in our sunny kitchen watching the garden birds. Later I will be having a nap, then sat here again while we have lasagne for dinner.

I’m not at all bored, I came home from hospital on Tuesday after a long stay and I’m just so happy to be here.

Just came back from a walk in the park. Going to church this evening - for company as much as anything.

fancythat, brilliant idea!

I'm just wobbling off to the Co-Op for a 1L bottle of Simplee Aloe Very fruit juice!

Then I'll walk out and guzzle the lot as I'm waddling down the road, and chomping on the lovely juicy bits!

I think when you get to pension age and beyond, the days will be similar. Thar’s unless you are one of these people who joins a gym, walks, does good work etc. and never has a spare moment.
Whatever you are doing, if you are enjoying it, fine. If not, perhaps you should find something else to do (if health and wealth allow, of course).

I live in a nursing home, each day the same,

fancythat Sat 12-Apr-25 11:39:20

That is awkward. Hope you get better soon.

I am having another day sitting in front of the TV watching tennis as I have back problems at the moment and it hurts to walk or even lie down in bed. Only sitting is comfortable.

fancythat Sat 12-Apr-25 11:29:45

There seems to be a need for it!

Post here what you are doing, if your day is boring.

I, and some others, will still find it interesting.
