What do you do in the evenings ?

Heckler · 26-01-2017 02:43AM #1

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 !

Gym,eat, bit of tele, shower then bed. Rock and roll lifestyle!

Uriel. · 26-01-2017 09:04AM

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

jester77 · 26-01-2017 09:07AM

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.

faceman · 26-01-2017 09:09AM

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

Rachiee · 26-01-2017 09:15AM

Take driving lessons
Cinema
Chess club
Drama rehearsals
Voluntary work
Midweek drinking
Gym

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

FTA69 · 26-01-2017 09:21AM

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 · 26-01-2017 09:22AM

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 · 26-01-2017 09:26AM

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

Shenshen · 26-01-2017 09:27AM

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 · 26-01-2017 09:45AM

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 · 26-01-2017 09:50AM

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

What do you do in the evenings ?
