True. I was actually doing a lot of weeding today. It was therapeutic lol @Former-Member Even though I usually hate the garden.

Heya @tyme

I'm doing okay today. Just resting, reading, and doing some colouring. Didn't have the energy for much else. Might have a wander to the hardware shop tomorrow. I don't know why but I just love wandering the aisles.

Hope you have recovered from the wobbles. 🫠

Hugs

Snuggles 🥰

Hey @Former-Member ,

I'm not at baseline yet, but getting there I guess.

Are you a handy person? I wish I was handy. I think I have the potential, but was just never taught or didn't hang around 'handy' people.

What do you like to do in your free time?

Hi @tyme

Before the internet, fixing things was all about trial and error. But now, thanks to YouTube, I've managed to repair a few things. The tricky part is having the right tools, and unfortunately, that can get expensive.

I read a lot and enjoy listening to audiobook CDs from the library. I also love spending time in the garden, especially early in the morning when everything is quiet. Watching and listening to birds is another favorite pastime, magpies are my favorite.

I don’t really feel the need for friends to hang out with, but I do appreciate reading the forums. It’s nice to know I’m not alone. Making and maintaining friendships has always been a challenge for me.

Thanks for checking in on everybody it makes a difference.

Take care.

Oooo! I've found a match! (Bar the gardening). @Former-Member

As I read your post above, I was nodding, nodding, nodding.... totally agree.

I agree that 'fixing things' is trial and error

I agree that 'fixing things' can get expensive when you don't have the tools

I agree that I don't 'need' friendships or people

I agree that I enjoy the forums

I agree I like being in nature and listening to the birds

I agree that I like reading/listening to books from the library

But no, I don't agree that I enjoy gardening lol.

Hi @tyme

You're definitely a kindred spirit!

Have you had a bad experience with gardening? Last year, wasps nested behind my cladding and I had to call someone to remove them, but the survivors kept stinging me all summer. Apparently, they can recognize faces but thankfully, they’ve moved on!

Cheers,
Snuggles 😊

Hey @Former-Member ,

LOL Love the idea of a 'kindred spirit' 🙂

No, I haven't really had a 'bad' experience, but when I think of gardening, I think of hayfever, itchy nose, hives, itchy skin, feeling hot and bothered....

But to be honest, AFTER the gardening is done, I actually feel a sense of achievement - until the weeds grow - again!

Hey @tyme

Yeah it gets a bit like that. I usually have a long bubble bath afterwards.

Anyway I'm off to bed so have a great day tomorrow whatever you have planned. Nice chatting with you.

Snuggles 🥰
