What do you do in the evenings ?

Heckler

I work a job that can be fairly physically exhausting somedays.

I find myself getting home, having a lie-down for an hour or so, having some food and then just vegging out in front of the TV.

Into bed for 11 or so and rinse and repeat.

Don't even have the energy to go to the cinema midweek.

What do you worker AH'ers do to pass the evening ?

Single with no kids btw !

Uriel.

There's a distinct lack of shagging going on... Or is "doing a project" some new hip young slang for shagging?

jester77

Get in at 7:30, get kids to bed, start cooking around 8:30, dinner, clean up the house a bit, hit gym at 10:30/11:00, chill in front of the TV for an hour or 2, into bed around 1:30/2:00.

I spend an inordinate amount of time in the evening either teaching, performing or practicing improv. It's wonderful. Beats watching tv.

Rachiee

I finish work at 5:30 but never really sit down to relax til 9:30/10pm obvs later if i go out drinking after. ive an emotionally draining job wouldnt be able to just go home after work id be so depressed. Life is for living

I used to be in the boxing gym every night. I'd train for two to two and half hours six days a week and I coached the kids class then on Sunday mornings. By the time I got home it was 9.30pm so would shower, heat up some stew and collapse into bed. The one night off myself and herself had off from training we'd have 'date night' which involved us going for loads of Kurdish food and then rowing over what to watch on Netflix because she has no taste.

My shoulder is wrecked so had to quit the sport for now, it's bizarre when something that defined your time outside of work just gets snatched away suddenly. I've been training a few times a week in a commercial gym but have bags of free time.

I've watched all six seasons of Kitchen Nightmares and am now onto the American ones. I need a new hobby badly.

timmy880

I assume working on projects is code for porn or something?

Otherwise I feel like a right slob by just going home, making dinner and watching tv.... (while watching the odd project before bed......)

bee06

Home at 6 at the earliest. Dinner, TV or read then bed. I have no energy for anything else.

Shenshen

Let's see - feed cats, go for cycle/swim/yoga (weather dependent),cook, feed husband and myself.

Then I'll either read, or watch telly and do some needlework (crocheting mostly, I sell stuff for charity). In summer, I might do stuff around the garden.
Projects might happen before going to sleep

Sound boring written down like that, but I actually enjoy it.

Lovely Bloke

Collect the child from day-orphanage at 4.30, get in, make dinner, and then upstairs for the child's bedtime routine, and he's asleep by 7.

have a cup of tea and a biscuit, then watch telly for an hour or two, potter around reddit and then off to bed for a read then sleep.

Other nights may include a beer or whisky, a shag, going out to the cinema or for dinner if there's a babysitter etc.

You know, the normal stuff.

Sounds like a fulfilled life to me, nothing boring there. Really must start yoga

Parchment

A mix of these things - Read / movie/ tidy around the house/ laundry / go for a walk/ watch a movie/ visit grandparents

Im always jealous of people who do "stuff" in the evening.

Me, too - until I sit on the sofa with a documentary on telly working away on making a cat-shaped phone cover, with the cats snuggled up and purring and the husband making me a cup of tea. Then I feel like "stuff" isn't worth the effort

PaddyWilliams

Gym or college, depending on the day.

Wheeliebin30

Surprised at the lack of people who go for a nice midweek few pints.

Nothing better as the pubs are relaxed and quite and you can actually have a conversation with a few characters.

if you mean improv comedy, it's unbearable to watch

Tell me how

This should make most of you feel good about yourselves.

My plan every morning, leave work at 5, go to gym on way home, have dinner, do couple hours study for part time course, watch tv for hour, go to bed.

Most evenings, leave work around half seven to eight, stop on way home to buy food, cook and eat it, do an hour poor quality study and go to bed wrecked.

I genuinely admire those who are capable of achieving a good work life balance. I know all about it, know I need it, can't seem to do it.

That actually sounds really nice - i wish i was crafty. A book is as far as i get.

How the hell do you make a phone cover? knitting? sounds very cute.

Dr Crayfish

After work go to gym, cycle home, cook, listen to Newstalk, maybe watch the news, practice piano for a bit, maybe read the news, watch some TV, bed. And try not to drink. I was only going to start a thread last night about this, like wtf am I supposed to be doing as a single man in his 30s every night that lives alone? Bollocks deep in these hobbies and passions people go on about that I'm supposed to be into? I'm just not, as much as I've tried. Does that make me boring? It would drive you to drink...

I can't deal with hangovers at work any more so as much as I like to have a drink with friends after work I do my best to avoid but slip up once in a while and get drunk and have a great time and suffer for two days.

It's clear the age profile of boards is higher than it was.

There's very little going out here.

I think we're talking about a typical weekday were you don't go out drinking.
Obviously drinking solves all worries about how you're spending your time, temporarily.

seamus

Have dinner, put child to bed (order is sometimes reversed), do whatever stuff can be done given the time and lighting conditions, watch an hour or two of TV and go to bed.

Every evening is different because most of my wife's work is after-school stuff. So what I'm doing is dependent on what she's doing. I guess I had never considered it before, but it's nice not to have the same boring old routine 5 days a week.

Very boring, living on my own, new to town.
Couple of evenings a week make lunch / dinner for 2-3 days at a time.
Go for a walk.
Watch a tv series and drink one too many glasses of wine.

Going home this weekend for 2 days - yaaay payday

I count the stretch in said evenings.

charcosull

Home from work at 5:30. Spend a couple of hours tinkering with an old mini and Vespa (Projects)
Dinner, watch a bit of tv / youtube videos. Bed at 10:30. Some evenings I play 5 a-side, pilates, walk the dog.

After work I go to college on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Study, dinner / lunch prep for the days, watch a movie or show, maybe if I'm really lucky, some rocket league

After reading some of these posts I think I'll take my daily existential crises and boring evenings over no sleep and screaming kids
